Like many lizards, iguanas can "drop" their tails. Iguanas have muscle bundles with special attachments to the vertebrae in the tail. These are areas where it is easier for the tail to break, should a predator grab hold of the iguana's tail.
No, when a lizard loses its tail, the tail cannot grow into another lizard, even though the lizard can grow another tail. Lizards do not have the same regenerative ability as starfish.
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.

Lizards have bacteria. If you bite the lizard's tail, you'll get sick from the bacteria. Also, you will irritate the lizard.
It allows the lizard to regrow its tail.
The longest lizard tail is about ten inches long at the very most.
yes, all lizards do that but some prefer to not.
You get a Napasapa tail (like a lizard tail) If your panda is green, you can be a lizard! Add me, Bambo_Maroo :)
No, you cannot get a full lizard to regenerate from the severed end portion of a shed tail. However, the rest of the lizard can regrow its lost tail.
Lizards are able to regenerate, or regrow, a body part. Many of them have evolved a special technique that makes their tail fall off and wiggle to attract a predator. This allows the lizard to escape and grow the tail back later. Another animal who does something similar is the octopus, which can shed an arm and grow it back later.
