It is a type of lizard classified in the family Geckoidae, genus Gecko. It is said to be a Japanese gecko, but it is not endemic to Japan and is considered to be an introduced species.
Although the names and shapes of newts and geckos are similar, newts are amphibians and live near water, while geckos are reptiles and live on land. They have different body shapes and toes. Geckos have five toes on both the front and back, while newts have only four toes on their front feet. Geckos also have unique toes that allow them to stick to vertical glass. The backs of the fingers, unlike those of frogs, do not have suckers, but are lined with a dense array of folded scales, and by hooking the hairs between these scales onto protrusions, the gecko can move freely on vertical surfaces.

Unlike newts, the body surface was dry, so the unevenness of the skin was captured in fine detail. In addition, we were able to visualize not only the skeleton but also some of the organs inside the body. In the “outside” model, the organs connected to the ears are also represented.
