As a means of self-preservation. A predator can attack it, it can lose its tail and then regrow it. The predator will usually not attack the rest of the body once it has the tail, which continues to move for quite some time after being detached, allowing the lizard to get away.
Yes, long-tailed grass lizards have the ability to regenerate their tails if they are lost or injured. The new tail may not be as long as the original one and may look slightly different in appearance. This is a common defense mechanism in many lizard species.
Lizards can lose their tails, but not all lizards can grow them back.Lizards that lose their tails may grow them back but the replacement tail is never as long or as colorful as the original one. Replacement tails grow back in as little as three months or as long as two years.In Iguanas and Komodo Dragons, the tail bones are not designed to break easily and the tail muscles are also not designed to pull apart smoothly. These lizards however can also lose their tails, but it takes a much stronger pull to make this happen. With these types of lizards, the wound heals, but the tail does not grow back.The main species that are capable of regrowing their tails are skinks and salamanders. So the answer may be that your blue tailed lizard (which is likely a blue tailed skink) will grow his tail back, it will just be a while.

Because other pigs bite them off.
Glass lizards are found in various habitats across North and Central America, as well as parts of Asia. They typically prefer environments with sandy soil, open fields, or woodlands. These lizards are known for their elongated bodies and ability to shed their tails as a defense mechanism.
Mice should not loose their tails. If they do, than an animal harmed it or the tail got stuck. Mice do not drop their tails like lizards, and mice are mamals, all mamals do not loose their tails
All lizards can lose their tails by getting it eaten off or something, but some lizards can 'lose' their tails. As in, if you frighten it or catch it by the tail, the lizard could detatch the tail from their body (and it would still move to confuse the attacker), and they could run away and regenerate the tail. =) -kelsey.
