Lizards can lose their tail and regrow it if captured by a predator.
The ability of some animals to drop their tail when caught is a defense mechanism called autotomy. This allows the animal to escape from a predator while the detached tail continues to wiggle, distracting the predator. The tail will often regenerate over time.
its a gecko
It's tail can break off and it will grow back.
drop its own tail
a process called autotomy common to Gecko's
if you mean a scorpion it is hard for the tail to fall off
Geckos drop their tail as a defense mechanism to escape from predators. This behavior is called autotomy, where the tail breaks off easily to distract the predator while the gecko makes its getaway.
I believe that what happens is that the predator catches the lizard by the tail, and then the tail breaks off and the lizard gets away, leaving the enemy there in awe with a tail dangling from his mouth. :] I believe the tail is mostly dead skin cells, and it can be regrown in a short period of time.
If grabbed by a predator, the tail of most skink species can easily come off leaving the predator with nothing but a wiggling tail and the skink a new lease on life.

Self Defence in the wild = When a predator got the gerbil the gerbil losses hair on tail and if needed the tail pops of so the predator will eat the tail and the gerbil will get a chance to run away ,its like with a leopard gecko
