Today we can manufacture structures that mimic the hairs of a gecko's foot.

But some aphids, katydids, lizards, geckos, and snakes only ever reproduce via parthenogenesis.

In fact, the whole gecko could dangle from a single one of its toes.

One square millimeter of a gecko's footpad has 14,000 hair-like structures called setae.

壁虎脚趾上一平方毫米，有一万四千个毛发状结构叫刚毛。

Researchers created mathematical models that revealed that the default for gecko feet is non-sticky.

研究人员因此构建了数学模型用于揭开壁虎脚趾平常不具有粘性的这个秘密。

Each pinhole projects a separate, sharp image onto the geckos retina.

每个针孔将一个单独的清晰图像投射到壁虎视网膜上。

It's also home to many different animal species including rare geckos and the snow leopard.

它也是许多种野生物种的家园，包括稀有的蜥蜴和雪豹。

Meanwhile, nocturnal geckos have pupils that shrink into slits studded with pinholes in higher light conditions.

与此同时，夜间活动的壁虎在较高的光照条件下瞳孔会收缩成布满针孔的狭缝。

The researchers also tested whether a gecko could latch onto the coating with its notoriously sticky footpads.

科学家还做了一项测验，看壁虎是否能够凭借它那著名的粘脚垫行走在上述涂层上。

Even the famously adhesive feet of geckos usually can't get a grip.

就连壁虎有名的胶脚都粘不上去。

The giraffe eats the acacia tree, so it continually produces those galls which form the geckos' home.

长颈鹿吃金合欢树，因此树不断产生出虫瘿，从而形成了壁虎的家。

Scientists think that comparing these different inputs might help the gecko judge distance without having to move.

科学家们认为，比较这些不同的输入信息可能有助于壁虎无需移动就能判断距离。

Now, we're taking a page from geckos.

现在， 我们借鉴壁虎的做法。

Who would have guessed from studying geckos? ! ?

谁会想到这是因为我们研究了壁虎。

I've brought you a leopard spotted gecko.

我给你带来了一只豹纹壁虎。

That kid had a tongue like a gecko.

那孩子的舌头跟壁虎有一拼。

Why are the gecko's feet looking like this?
