  2. Autotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autotomy

    A white-headed dwarf gecko with tail lost due to autotomy. Autotomy (from the Greek auto-, "self-" and tome, "severing", αὐτοτομία) or 'self-amputation', is the behaviour whereby an animal sheds or discards an appendage, [1] usually as a self-defense mechanism to elude a predator's grasp or to distract the predator and thereby allow escape.

  4. Regeneration (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_(biology)

    Dwarf yellow-headed gecko with regenerating tail. Regeneration in biology is the process of renewal, restoration, and tissue growth that makes genomes, cells, organisms, and ecosystems resilient to natural fluctuations or events that cause disturbance or damage. [1] Every species is capable of regeneration, from bacteria to humans.

  5. Salamander - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salamander

    The tail drops off and wriggles around for a while after an attack, and the salamander either runs away or stays still enough not to be noticed while the predator is distracted. The tail regrows with time, and salamanders routinely regenerate other complex tissues, including the lens or retina of the eye. Within only a few weeks of losing a ...

  6. Takydromus sexlineatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takydromus_sexlineatus

    The tail length is usually over three times the body (snout to vent) length in this species. [2] Males and females are similar, males being distinguishable by the presence of pre-anal pores. On average they grow to around 12 cm (4.7 in) snout-to-vent length, with the addition of a distinctive, prehensile long tail. [3]

  7. Hox genes in amphibians and reptiles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hox_genes_in_amphibians...

    Hox genes play a massive role in some amphibians and reptiles in their ability to regenerate lost limbs, especially HoxA and HoxD genes. [1]If the processes involved in forming new tissue can be reverse-engineered into humans, it may be possible to heal injuries of the spinal cord or brain, repair damaged organs and reduce scarring and fibrosis after surgery.

  8. Common slow worm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_slow_worm

    Slow worms exhibit caudal autotomy, the severing of the tail when it is pulled by predators. [10] When regrown, the tail grows back only to a short stub, probably because loss of the tail does not sufficiently affect the species' locomotion, foraging and defence abilities to necessitate full and rapid regeneration. [11]

  9. Tuatara - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuatara

    Tuatara are of interest for studying the evolution of reptiles. Tuatara are greenish brown and grey, and measure up to 80 cm (31 in) from head to tail-tip and weigh up to 1.3 kg (2.9 lb) [10] with a spiny crest along the back, especially pronounced in males. They have two rows of teeth in the upper jaw overlapping one row on the lower jaw ...
