the claim

Lizards regrow lost legs as well as lost tails.

Recorded sources
0 sources for · 5 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Lizards regrow lost legs as well as lost tails?

No. One peer-reviewed study states plainly that lizards regenerate amputated tails but are unable to regrow lost limbs, and other sources describe only tail regeneration. No retrieved item supports leg regrowth in lizards.
