Let me tell you a little about myself. I am a kind
of reptile. My most important characteristic is the
structure of the outer surface of all my toes which
lets them stick to surfaces. Every one of my feet has
2 million tiny ‘hairs’.
Because of them, I can easily stick to every sur-
face. It is also interesting that, even if I walk in
sand, my feet still work. Boys and girls, when you
walk in the sand in the summer sand sticks to your
feet, but that doesn’t happen to me. Right after I
walk on sand, I can also walk on glass.
I weigh only about 100 grams, so I am very
small. But with my toes, I have a sticking power of
1200 times my own weight. That's the same as a man
My 200 million-
year- old- fossil
is one of the
proofs that evo-
lution never
happened.
