Which species can regenerate its tail?

The ability to regenerate a tail is a remarkable biological phenomenon observed in several species, particularly among certain reptiles and crustaceans. In the context of this question, the correct answer indicates that all listed species have some regenerative capacity.

Lizards are well known for their ability to lose their tails as a defense mechanism (autotomy) when threatened, and they can regrow their tail over time. The regenerated tail may not be identical to the original but typically serves a functional purpose.

Crabs, particularly some species of decapods, can regenerate lost limbs, including their claws and, in some cases, parts of their body, which can extend to include the tail in certain species, showcasing a significant form of regeneration.

Spider species exhibit a different type of regeneration where they can regenerate legs they may lose. Although regeneration varies widely across different species and may not pertain to the tail specifically, they illustrate the broader regenerative capabilities seen in the animal kingdom.

Thus, the correct response reflects the fact that all these animals display some form of regenerative ability, making them part of the diverse group of organisms capable of regeneration.
