Geckolepis Megalepis

New species of gecko has massive scales and tear-away skin

Many lizards can drop their tails when grabbed, but one group of geckos has gone to particularly extreme lengths to escape predation. Fish-scale geckos in the genus Geckolepis have large scales that tear away with ease, leaving them free to escape whilst the predator is left with a mouth full of scales. Scientists have now described a new species (Geckolepis megalepis) that is the master of this art, possessing the largest scales of any gecko. Ref. Source 3d.

Megalepis Geckolepis

This is a interesting lizard. To know that it can shed its scales to escape as well as possibly its tail is a new advance in escaping your predator.
