Stock Photo: Zebra-Tailed Lizard (Callisaurus Draconoides)
ID 49877728 © Helgidinson | Megapixl.com
These very fast lizards are easily identified by their black stripped zebra tail. When agitated the lizards wave their very prominent tail, and it is thought that this provides protection. When predators go after a Zebra-Tail they often see the tail, so this is the point of attack. If that is the body part they grab it simply falls off, and the lizard escapes having lost a tail but not its life.
