When a leopard gecko feels threatened it loses its tail. The tail still moves because it has nerve endings in it, and will distract the enemy while the leopard gecko gets away. Eventually the leopard gecko will grow a new tail but it will not be as pretty as its old tail. It will grow back in a "light bulb" shape instead of sleek and straight.

How does the leopard gecko defend itself?
There are two ways of defence that I know of, one is that they have the ability to drop their tail so that the tail distracts the predator, so hopefully the leopard gecko can scurry away. The second is biting.
