I am not sure why the tails of chipmunks, squirrels, lizards and the ... pointy things of starfish can drop off, but I DO KNOW that if you try and catch a lizard, and you grab on the tail, it will drop off. Lizards use that as self-defense, but for a starfish, it is part of their life. Hope this helped! ~Daydream617
