Some (but not all) species of lizard have the ability to 'drop' their tails if they're captured (by a predator for example) - this enables the lizard to escape, and the tail usually grows back.

Small lizards also have an interesting use of their tail; if they are being chased by a predator, their tail can snap off! This means that the predator might be fooled into thinking they caught the lizard, but really it got away! The tail will regrow completely in one or two weeks.
