Lizard Tail comes off ~

I did not do this on purpose. It was an accident. I was just trying to remove the creature from the house. I saw him again - and his tail grew back!! I will try to get new video of him.

Off of some wiki stuff:

""Natural selection has favored fracture planes and muscles that cut off blood loss," Pianka emails. Moreover, such lizards have evolved tail nerves and muscles that continue firing and moving, thus ensuring the tail continues to attract attention."

Its mostly a defense mechanism for predators !

@MrMedic8 i think they do it to distract predators

[xXxshaddicxXx]

their tails grow back though

[xXxshaddicxXx]

it detatches its tail because its scared and they "drop" their tail to distract predators in the wild
