message: Geckos and lizards? Geckos -are- lizards.
Can lizards shed regenerated tails? How many times can this be done? Drutt 14:18, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

message: There should be a paragraph on why humans and animals of higher class do not have this ability to grow back limbs and organs like the geckos. I know this difference is not yet entirely understood, but the topic is very interesting for the 21st century, e.g. stem cells, organ cloning, etc. Looks like artificial (metal-ceramic-plastic-cybernetic) replacement organs do not work well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.131.210.162 (talk) 09:20, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

A new study by German scientists of spiders' copulation techniques found that males leave part of their sex organ inside their female partner as a sort of "chastity belt" to deter rivals. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.48.92.128 (talk) 02:14, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spider copulation 

message: The following sentence from the article is grammatically awkward, if not simply incorrect. I'm not sure how it should be changed to improve it while retaining its intended meaning:
:"No other stinging insect has the sting apparatus modified this way, including yellowjacket wasps, which also have barbed stings, but workers of all species of true honey bees (genus Apis)."

thread_title:  Bad sentence 

message: Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that :File:White-headed dwarf gecko.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on December 8, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-12-08. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng  {chat} 20:00, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[:File:White-headed dwarf gecko.jpg]] to appear as POTD soon 

message: I think one ref per species would be sufficient.  As the sentence stands now the amount of citations looks unsightly.  Kap 7 (talk) 23:56, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

message: I get how a weak spot in a vertebral column can be broken, but what about ALL the OTHER STUFF? There are nerves and muscles, and lymphatic systems and blood vessels and skin; how does all that detach, and further, how does it stay together in the interim?
