this is kind of neat... makes me wonder if this is evolution happening right in front of us... not very many animals besides humans try to save one another...

Everytime a species breeds you are watching evolution take place.

Sometimes we ought to stop and think how amazing this whole world is.

yes, there are such wondrous things out there, just waiting to be seen and understood...what really amazed me about it was it looked to me like the gecko was actually thinking before he/she attacked the snake... i've always looked at reptiles as instinctive only thought process, and this seems like evidence to the contrary here...

yes, i agree... that would be a step, where the gecko saving it's friend/mate would be a leap, IMO...

The snake and gecko fell and we only saw one gecko on the wall at the end - I hope the snake and the other gecko parted company!
