When in danger a geckos instinct is to run. These animals are generally very quick and can escape harms way in a heart beat. Geckos that aren't so fortunate can release their tails as a method of distraction. The tail will continue to wiggle after it has separated from the body. The gecko will usually have a second chance at running, while the predator's attention is with the tail.
