Texas Spiny Lizard with a new tail

Nice shot. Did it lose its tail to a predator or can they shed their tail as a defence mechanism (if that makes sense)?
 
Nice shot of a handsome lil dude. He even looks like a Texan.
Thanks!
Very nice shot.....

They can shed their tails, which will wiggle around on the ground to distract a predator while they get away. The tail grows back eventuall, like on this one.
Lizards are so cool. We need some horned toads!
I would love to find some horn toads, but they are becoming scarce. They are more abundant up in Oklahoma I think.
 
I lived in OKC for several years and loved seeing them. I thought you guys might have them too.
