The discarding of one or more appendages by an animal is known as what behavior?

This can be witnessed in humans too. A human with a mobile phone appendage may have it stolen by a predator and the very next day a new mobile phone appears. Amazing!

Axolotyls are also able to regenerate lost limbs, I read somewhere that scientists are attempting to use their DNA to determine whether it’s possible to create new limbs for humans from this research, how true this is I don’t know.

Most will be familiar with medical -tomy as in appendectomy , tonsillectomy meaning cutting out. About of course doing it to oneself

Clidge, Some mammals shed parts of their skin to escape a predator. Some invertebrates can shed legs, arms, or internal organs under certain circumstances, or the male reproductive organ while mating. Bees famously shed their stingers and die soon after.
