Geckos have small hair-like structures on the bottom of their feet which allow geckos to climb almost any surface in which this case, it's glass.

Geckos can stick to glass because their bulbous toes are covered in hundreds of tiny microscopic airs called setae. Each setae splits off into hundreds of even smaller bristles called spatulae.
