The lizards can climb easily on the house walls due to the following reasons:

Explanation:

  • The lizards have sticking pads on their fingers and feet. These pads are made up of scales and plates. The outer layer of each of the plate is composed of tiny hooks.
  • The minute hooks create a suction pump with the walls which allows the lizard to run over the smooth walls upside and downside without falling down.
  • This kind of morphology cannot be seen in case of rats therefore the rats are unable to climb the walls.
