Being otherwise inescapable. A 22-inch (56 cm) iguana that the author once kept had the misfortune of falling a distance of 6 feet (183 cm) and dropping into a cardboard box. The panicked lizard jumped out of the box leaving 91/2 Niches (23 cm) of its tail ‘behind. Although bewildered and frightened, the iguana quickly recovered its
Composure. The bleeding was minimal at the point of separation. The abandoned tail wriggled for a few minutes as it had a life of its own. After the incident the lizard continued to grow at about the same rate. The tail, however, increased in length only about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the point where it broke.

Dew lapping, an interesting instinctive behavior of many lizards, is usually incorporated into this aggressive performance.
