I have never understood how geckos climb up slick surfaces! The don't have tiny hooked hairs on their hands like insect legs, and they don't have wet suction cups like an octopus' tentacles.

So, how the hell do they do it! Shocked

Well, they do it the way it says in this video — and now we have gloves that do it the same way. You're gonna love this, Spider-Man fans!
