This toy is based on a double crank. Take a thick wire and bend two cranks with the help of pliers. Then bend another wire to make the head and body of a lizard.  Attach the two pairs of legs and feet to the body. Here is the schematic view of the lizard with all its parts. On rotating the crank all the four legs of the lizard move in unison imitating the walk of a real lizard. Observe this movement in slow-motion. Just by rotating the crank all the four legs of the lizard will move beautifully as if it was climbing a wall. This work was supported by IUCAA and Tata Trust.
