Peculiar features of locomotion of thick-toed geckos as model object of adaptive behavior in weightlessness were studied under the conditions of orbital space flight. A comparison of geckos’ head and feet movements in the flight group with those in the control group reveals the specific role of the paw adhesion-type contact to the surfaces (“sticking”) that characterizes the contribution of tactile sensitivity into adaptation to microgravity conditions.
