Imitation gecko adhesive...

OK, so first of all, this is a really cool concept, and I'm surprised no one tried this sooner. Second of all, it completely cracked me up that they had a LEOPARD GECKO as their model for geckos with "sticky feet"! :main_laugh: How is that little guy holding on anyway? That looked precarious...

I wanna read the letter!!! You think they'd do some research, or at least google it before making themselves look dumb.

They probably edited out the part about all the bandaids getting wet were because of Tokay bites. Yeah, just take the pic with this one--at least it doesn't bite!

Yeah, the journal article itself showed a picture of a Tokay, so at least the scientists doing the study knew what they were doing (and were probably regretting the choice of Tokays as a lab animal!). The leo pic was just for the front page of the scientific journal "nature" (see the General Discussion forum for a picture).
