Sceloporus occidentalis longipes
This lizard severed its tail and it's growing back. "Many lizard species are capable of severing their tails when faced with danger. Although severing and regrowing tails is a strenuous process for a lizard, this mechanism is often used by lizards to save their lives." - Wikipedia
