A Tel Aviv University student found a lizard tail preserved in a tiny piece of amber, providing direct fossil evidence of an ancient defense mechanism. The preserved tail shows that tail-shedding for predator evasion dates back at least 99 million years to the Cretaceous period.

“lizard tails keep wriggling long after detachment, distracting predators while the animal escapes”
