No because it's a way to get away from Something that has gotten a hold of it. It grows back though.
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.
It is a surviving technique; so the lizard can redirect the attention of its enemy to the tail that if moving constantly which will give the lizard an opportunity to get away. The tail will regrow over a period of time.
Lizards, as a method of self defense, will drop their tails off if they are extremely scared. They do this so that if they are being chased, the predator would try to eat the tail while the lizard escapes. The tail does grow back, but it will take some time.
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.
The Drop tail Lizard is one of them. A flatworm such as the planarian can regenerate body parts. If you cut it in half the part with the head will grow a new tail and the part with the tail will grow a new head. Pretty wicked!
if you pull a lizard's tail off, it won't feel it, and it grows right back. if you hold a lizard till he stops struggling, he plays dead. males have dark flecks
It allows the lizard to regrow its tail.
a lizard after its tail falls off
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.
No, a tail falling off of a lizard or gecko is just a defense mechanism and will eventually grow back. The tail falls off due to grabbing or pulling it, and the lizard or gecko will intentionally let go of it. Although it will grow back, it will not be as pretty and colorful as its original tail.
You might want to take him to the vet
