Researchers have discovered that more than a hundred lizards, spanning nearly 60 different species, have survived the loss of a limb. Remarkably, some of these lizards not only endured the injury but appeared to thrive despite it.
This finding sheds new light on the resilience and adaptability of lizards in the wild, highlighting their impressive ability to recover from significant physical trauma. The study offers valuable insights into how these reptiles cope with such challenges and continue to survive in their natural habitats.
