Photo of the Day: Lizard Finds Dessert Tongue-Licking Good
Just when you thought no gecko could be any cuter than the Geico gecko, along comes this Hawaiian hottie. According to National Geographic, who voted it one of the best photos of 2008, the lithe lizard shimmied down the restaurant wall, stole a lick of a vacationer’s dessert, and ran off. He may not have good table manners, or be able to speak or save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance, but he has a very refined palate. How can you be mad at something so cute for running out on the check?

It's almost hard to believe this photo is real - so cute!

It is cute, but odd. Unless it were trained to do so, why would a gecko go out of its way to eat what appears to be whipped cream? I thought they ate live insects.

The little guy looks like he's sitting on his tush. So cute.

I've had this little guy as my wallpaper for a couple of weeks now. He's just too cute and I have a soft spot for lizards anyway.
