Wild Kratts

The Gecko Effect

Episode 33 | 26m 25s

There's a mystery to be solved by the Wild Kratts team, as they try to uncover how a Gecko lizard climbs up smooth surfaces so easily. They use the solution to help them escape from a glass terrarium where they have been imprisoned by Zach Varmitech, so he can steal their miniaturizer.
