THIS IS HOW HOUSE LIZARD/ HOUSE GECKOS DEFY GRAVITY AND MOVE ON WALLS /CEILING

You must have seen a House Lizard/ House Gecko moving on your house walls and ceiling, well Have you ever thought that how do they do so ?

Well the Geckos/ Lizards are able to walk on wall or ceilings because of their Bulbous toes which are covered by hundreds of tiny microscopic hairs called Setae. Each Seta splits off into hundreds of even smaller bristles called spatulae due to which the tufts of tiny hairs gets so close to the contours in walls and ceilings that the van der walls force kicks in . this type of physical bond happens when electrons from gecko/lizard hair molecules and electrons from the wall molecule interact with each other and create an electromagnetic attraction .

Scientist and Researchers have discovered that its the Incredible synergy of Flexibility , Angle and Extensibility of the hairs that makes it possible for the Geckos/Lizards to quickly stick and unstick their feet and move on walls and ceilings.
