Explained"},"content":{"rendered":"
Lizards are fascinating creatures that can be found in various habitats across the world. These reptiles are known for their incredible ability to climb walls and ceilings, but have you ever wondered why they sometimes fall from the ceiling? While it may seem like a simple question, the answer is actually quite complex and involves several factors.<\/p>\n
One of the main reasons lizards fall from the ceiling is due to their reliance on adhesion. Lizards use specialized toe pads to stick to surfaces and climb walls and ceilings. However, these toe pads can become less effective if they get dirty or wet, making it more difficult for lizards to maintain their grip. Additionally, if the surface they are climbing on is too smooth or slippery, lizards may struggle to hold on and end up falling.<\/p>\n\n
