- Original answer: "A Gecko is a Lisard, which can't fly, so no ^^"
- Yes, Geckos can fly. You've never seen the Geico Gecko? LOL...
- Seriously; although Geckos are lizards, they can fly.
- Ptychozoon [tyke-a-zo-on] is a breed of arboreal from Southeast Asia, known as Flying Geckos or Parachute Geckos.
- They are characterized by cryptic coloration and elaborate webs surrounding the neck, limbs, trunk, and tail. These membranes help to conceal the gecko against trees.
- When the gecko leaps into the air, the flaps are used to generate lift and allow the gecko to control its fall. It can fly up to 200 feet (60 meters).
- It also does a swoop at the end of its flight to land softly.
- A similar adaptation is found in the GeckoCosymbotus.
