    The relationship between the garter snakes and rough-skinned newts is their evolutionary race.

    Grater snakes are resistant to the TTX (the toxin of the rough-skinned newts).

    TTX-resistant snakes (resistance was formed via mutation) cause natural selection to favor ever-more poisonous newts (so they can survive), and the "new" newts drive selection for higher resistance in snakes.
