See it here. Preserved in amber. A foot, a toe and part of the tail. And scientists can even see its toe pads and the little microscopic hairs that allow it to stick to walls. (Not that there were any walls back in its day.)
Hope this was not posted before. Since the Search function does not work, I can’t check.
Oh no! What happens when geneticists clone it? We… we could end up with… geckos!
Aaaaah, run!
I knew it! Car insurance predates humanity by millions of years!
Gecko Park does not have the same ring to it as Jurassic Park. 
Bu these suckers were GIANT. They think this one would have been a whole foot long had it grown to adulthood.
Meh, I’ve seen them that big here, well, actually in Koh Kood. 
Foot-long geckos? :eek:
Or were those the tuk-kae, the tree lizards that make the* tuk-kae* sound.
DAMN YOU!
Beat me to the joke!:smack:
No, not lizards, honest to goodnes giant geckos, like this or this one. Those lightbulbs must be about 15cm tall, so I eyeball at least 30cm for the gecko, the one on the wall was even bigger.
I even got a video of the geckzilla feasting on some bugs that showed up that night… “some bugs” fiddlesticks, it was a veritable swarm of biblical proportions, a cloud of the things swept past the resort, it must have been the annual spawning or who knows what, but the things where making the air thick. No wonder those geckos get that big there!
By the way, if you ever get the chance or whimsy to go to Koh Kood, I highly recommend that resort (The Koh Kood Resort), it’s on a small isolated bay, lovely scenery and tranquility.
That post was like… a fresh biscuit, cut in half, with a thin layer of some really good strawberry jam on top.
Well, not really, but you get the idea…
Don’t you mean that car insurance has been predating humanity for millions of years instead?
So the Gieco Cavemen are going to be replaced by the Cave-Gecko?
The rivalry with those cavemen started pretty early.

D’oh, just saw the post above this one. 
Pretty!
Thanks for the tip on Koh Kood. We’ve never made it past Koh Chang.
Yes, geckos are very cool, I keep telling that to my girlfriend but she freaks out on sight of one.
Besides I maintain that the gecko population of Bangkok is the only standing defense against Cockroach Paradise.
Next time you go to Koh Chang… keep going and land on Koh Kood instead, it’s so much better. You may also try the smaller islands in between, Koh Mak is very tranquil and the Mu Koh Rang archipelago is very beautiful for a day trip visit.
Actually, the first words spoken as the shock wave radiated out from the new crater at Chicxulub:
“I told him we should have gotten the catastrophic coverage!”
Which is kinda funny, since this particular specimen seemed to be a whole foot short. And a toe. At least it grew back part of its tail. 
Dangit. Threadkiller.
A foot-long gecko would make short work of the crickets I hear chirping in the background now.
I love geckos, or jingjok, but the wife is meh about them.
Supposedly, if you hear one chirping as you are about to leave, something bad will happen to you while you’re out, and so you should change your plans and stay home. There was a great TV commercial once with this couple who could never leave their home, because whenever they started to, a gecko would chirp at them, saying: “Hi! So, where you folks off to?”
