i can't help but whine

animal of the week

Wednesday, January 21, 2009

My bosses arent in the office yet so i'm surfing the net. And since shiya was talking about the lizard in her class and i've been hearing loud clicking sounds at night when i'm sleeping, i decided to research on our favourite-of-the-week:

"There are over 800 different kinds of geckos. They live on every continent except Antartica where it is too cold for them. Geckos are cold-blooded which means they need the suns rays to warm them. Their tiny scales protect them from the sun."
OH! i'm so gonna emigrate to antartica.

"Geckos are carnivores. They eat small insects. After a gecko eats, it cleans its mouth with its tongue. Geckos even clean their eyes with their tongue!"
YUCKS! that's one fact i dont need to know and i hope i'll never have to see that.

"Some geckos make a clicking noise that sounds like they're saying "geck-o." That's how they got their name. Geckos also make a tiny squeaking sound, stand tall, wave their tails over their backs and push up and down when frightened."

"Lizards make a clicking noise and stop when u shush them."

So i was right to turn up the volume of my music whenever i hear them clicking away near my desk. Oh and they're supposedly communicating with each other so that means i've at least 4 lizards in my house (two in the bedroom, 2 somewhere behind my desk)

"Geckos are considered to be good luck in Hawaii."
HAHA. HA :/ i'll never understand that.
