Why do geckos' tails fall off?

Geckos' tails fall off as a defense mechanism called autotomy. When a gecko feels threatened, it can voluntarily detach its tail to distract predators and escape. The detached tail will continue to wiggle, drawing the predator's attention while the gecko makes its getaway. The gecko can later regenerate its lost tail, although the new tail may look different from the original.
