Where'd My Tail Go?

We had fun watching the geckos around us, seeking some bugs for dinner.  This guy managed to lose his tail somewhere along the way.  His loss reminded Audrey of when her cats in Gabon used to hunt lizards and try to bring them in the house.  When a cat would catch one, the lizard would separate from his tail and stand still, the cat would get distracted by the moving separated tail, and the lizard would walk away slowly to his freedom. The tails do grow back and somehow the cats fell for this trick every time.    Where'd My Tail Go?
