Gecko

"Meet the gecko--the escape artist of the lizard world! Hawks and rats would love to catch one for their dinner, but the gecko's . . . ability to protect itself keeps it safe for another day. With . . . camouflage, feet covered with tiny hairs for gripping (even upside down!), and the ability to drop its tail as a decoy, the gecko is more than a match for its pursuers"--Provided by publisher.
