Cutkosky's team is also working on a geckolike robot, called Stickybot, designed to climb smooth surfaces like glass. Stickybot's feet are covered with thousands of synthetic "stalks" modeled after the tiny hairs on geckos' feet.

An immature burrowing owl stalks through the grass surrounding the hole in which two parents and five offspring live off Via Veneto Drive in Punta Gorda, Fla. Burrowing owls are known to live in dry, open areas with no trees and short grass. Populations are declining in many areas mainly due to collisions with cars. In this particular nest, two of the seven offspring were killed by an automobile.
Willy, a 1-year-old cat is photographed Thursday, with a display of several pairs of garden gloves that he took from unknown yards in his neighborhood in Pelham, N.Y. Willy has brought home nine pairs of gloves and five singles over several weeks laying them on his owners' front or back porches.
