Geckos are one of the most diverse groups of all lizards. There are 7 families of geckos, and while all are unusual in their own ways, one really stands out as being the absolute craziest gecko family of all!

  • I am shocked how clearly and easily you are getting this information across. This feels more like an introduction to a series of university lectures than a youtube video!
  • @samwill7259
    wait, wait, wait...A GECKO'S EYELID IS FUSED SHUT OVER ITS EYE?! I always heard that they just didn't have any and that's why they were always licking them! They basically just have a clear helmet in front of their eyes that keeps the air and debris out? That's so stinkin rad!
  • @HomeSlice97
    Well, today I learned that geckos’ feet are magnetic at a subatomic level. I always assumed it was suction.
  • @GraceLJW
    I love geckos so much! Especially how most of them look eternally skeptical of their surroundings, like they're always a bit suspicious of what's going on. It's very funny
  • @chewy99.
    There’s a legless gecko?! How did I not know this?!
  • @jollykean9973
    Man i was trying to find a video to put on in the background while i was drawing, and by the end of this video i looked down and my paper was still blank lol. great video, i love these style of videos, theres so much to learn!
  • @kerseykrewzoo
    This was a great video. I love learning about reptiles. Measuring people “snout to vent” would be hilariously awkward. I laughed out loud when they were measuring you and my kids were looking at me like I was crazy. 🤣
  • These videos are becoming my favorite!!! I love learning about reptiles at a deeper, more scientific level. I love the eyelid geckos 🥰
  • Wow! I knew geckos were RAD, but not this much! I want to be a herpetologist when I grow up and you’ve been a HUGE inspiration! I love the vids!
  • @sampagano205
    All three families of parrots and their genera would be a great video.
  • @NissaV1
    Extra points for causing my 5-year-old to ask me to pause the video so he could go grab some magnets, and giving me a chance to answer his questions about atoms.
  • @Deszerien
    The part about the toe pads and how gecko’s “stick” to surfaces was my favorite part. That’s so interesting how they work!
  • i consider myself desert-dwelling and i have a leopard gecko, so eublepharidae would be my favorite! i love how bumpy their scales are and just how happily smug their faces look. the western banded gecko is my favorite wild gecko!
  • @ressljs
    I just found this channel and it's amazing. Not only because I find these animals fascinating. But Clint just seems so excited, it delightfully weird, but in a way that's totally wholesome.
  • Man I love these phylogenics videos! They're probably my favourite videos you make (other than, of course your usual series!) Definitely eager to see the next one haha
  • @benamidon5643
    The clips at the end were so funny. "How tall am I supposed to be?" "—snout to vent?" "Ohh.."
  • I've been working with reptiles and other animals for 10 years and videos like this remind me that I know nothing. That being said I love these videos, Keep them coming !
  • @SwampApeSci
    I truly honestly believe the evolutionary relationships of varanids needs to be covered. Everyone seems to believe they're all much closer related to eachother than they really are and many would be surprised to discover how diverse their lineage really is.
  • Okay this is an older video and I'm not even all the way through it yet but I'm SO EXCITED you just gave a probable explanation for one of my crestie's behaviors!!! The cone cell thing in the eyes may be why my crested gecko loves to watch YouTube but almost exclusively cartoons, and loves the Christmas tree and other colorful lights- she may like bright vivid colors because she can see them really well! THAT IS SO NEAT.
  • I'm a huge fan of more taxonomical discussion in the hobby! It's more useful for informing proper care for certain species than people give it credit for.
