Leopard geckos drop their tails as a defense mechanism when they feel threatened or stressed. This behavior is called autotomy, and it allows the gecko to escape from predators while the detached tail continues to wiggle, distracting the predator. The tail will eventually grow back, but it may not look the same as the original.
