Yesterday, my family killed a lizard.. In its struggle, the lizard dropped its tail, not once but TWICE!!! Can you see the lizard without its tail on the right? The tails wriggled despite the fact that they were off the lizard's body. Why is it so?

Even after a tail is cut off, it still moves so that it wags around as if it's alive so that predators will go after the tail as the lizards makes its escape.
ReplyDeleteYeah,I agree with Pristine.Last time,the lizard in my house dropped its tail when my cat was chasing it.When the lizard ran away,my cat pounced on the tail and played with the tail thinking that the tail was the lizard.
ReplyDeleteHAHA!! The lizard must have been very clever!! Well, I would not fal for that trick next time! 8)
ReplyDeleteThat is the way lizards adapt to their environment ;)
