The gecko was squirming and all these little kids were yelling "NO, don't eat it!!!". The crane flipped it's head up, opened its mouth, and swallowed the gecko whole. The freakiest part was that you could see the shape of the gecko as it went down the bird's throat, and it was still wiggling all the way down!!!
Gave us all the heebie jeebies. I felt bad for the kids who saw that and really didn't understand that's how nature works.
