Unlike most lizards, geckos have voices. A gecko sounds a little like a bird or a frog. In some languages these lizards have names that sound like their calls, for example, both English and Indonesian call one kind gecko (gek KO) and tokay (to- KAY). Another kind of gecko, with a different sound, is called chicak (CHEE chak).

Geckos have no eyelids. Instead, they have a clear membrane (skin) over their eyes. They lick the membrane clean with their tongues. Like most lizards, they can regenerate their tail if they need to.

A hurricane is a violent tropical storm with sustained winds of at least 74 mph. It forms over warm ocean waters. Warm and moist air moves towards the center of the storms and spirals upward. This releases torrential rains. As updrafts suck up more water vapor, it triggers a cycle of strengthening. This cycle can be stopped only one contact is made with land or cooler water.
The whole hurricane can be described as a giant wheel lying on its side. The hurricane spins and moves across the Earth's surface at a speed of between 15 and 30 km/hour. When a hurricane approaches, the wind rises swiftly, sometimes reaching speeds of 160 km/hour or more. Wind blows inward towards an area of low pressure, by travelling in a spiral due to the Earth's rotation. When the hurricane strikes, houses maybe blown down, trees uprooted, crops damaged, and widespread flooding may also occur.
Hurricane is known by different name in other parts of the world. In the bay of Bengal and the Arabian sea, they are called cyclones. While for those in Japan, the Philippines, and the coast of China, hurricanes are called typhoons.

"Saya tahu bahwa Anda tahu segala sesuatu tentang apa yang terjadi, Mr Tukkebi," kata pembantu ketakutan. "Apa yang kau bicarakan, wanita? "Tukkebi bertanya bingung."
