The tokay gecko is a night-loving lizard that spends its time climbing trees. It lives in parts of Asia and some islands in the Pacific. This gecko is known for its strong grip and loud calls.
- Active at night, it hunts and moves through the trees.
- Its sticky toe pads help it climb smooth surfaces like glass.
- Males make loud 'to-kay' calls to mark their territory.
