About This Item

CZ: Gekon obrovský (Gekko gecko) je druhý nejvetší druh gekona, který muže dorust až 40 centimetru. Tito velcí a krásne zbarvení se hojne vyskytují na Bali, ostrove bohu, v Indonésii a celé jihovýchodní Asii. Casteji jsou více slyšet než vydet. Vydávají totiž neskutecný, hlasitý a plazum nepodobný zvuk, který by se dal popsat jako „geko-geko“, což mu a celé celdi techto plazu dalo jméno. Dalším specifkem celé skupiny gekonu je, že na koncetinách mají dobre vyvinutých pet prstu opatrených lamelami a prísavkami, které jim umožnují snadné šplhání po skalách, stromech nebo i po kolmé zdi ci skle. Napr. kdyby se dospelý, 70 g vážící gekon dotýkal sklenené desky všemi lamelami na svých koncetinách najednou, adhezivní síla by udržela 133 kilogramu..

EN: Tokay gecko (Gekko gecko) is the second largest Gecko species, attaining lengths of 40 centimeters. These large and colorful geckos are plentiful in Bali, island of the gods, in Indonesia and throughout southeast Asia, but you hear them much more often than you see them. They make the most fantastically unlizard-like sound whose transliteration resulted in both the word „gecko-gecko“, where both the common and the scientific name, as well as the family name Gekkonidae and the generic term gecko come from. Another specific of geckos is, that they have at the footpads well developed five toes powered by finely divided setae allowing them to easily climbing on the rocks, trees or even on the vertical wall or glass. If a typical mature 70 g gecko had every one of its setae in contact with a glass surface, it would be capable of holding aloft a weight of 133 kilograms..
