That fragile tail

Ever seen a lizard with a piece of its tail missing? There´s a reason why. They break off.

Don´t pick up your lizard by the tail. Not only is it painful, but in some species, you can actually break it off. This evolved as a defense mechanism on the lizard´s part, to leave a predator chewing on a piece of the lizard instead of the whole thing. The break will heal, but it´s no fun for the lizard and it never does grow back as nicely colored as before.
