Many communities are very worried about what evil may befall if a lizard from the ceiling falls on our body. Indeed, an ancient text called "Gauli Sastra" makes predictions based on where in our body the household lizard falls. Try and catch a lizard by its tail; the tail simply comes off and the lizard scurries away. Indeed, a salamander can regenerate its tail, spinal cord, cartilage and some parts of its eye.
