White-tailed lizards can be found scattered about the Forbidden Lands in Shadow of the Colossus. One can be found at each save shrines, while many others can be found in the wild around certain locations. When Wander kills one, he can consume its tail for a stamina boost. (If you shoot the lizard's tail, the lizard can break free from its tail and survive, though this requires an extremely precise shot and more than a bit of luck. However, if you do this, the lizard will still show up on the Lizard Detection Stone. Only by killing it, will the lizard's icon vanish.)

Research
Many species of lizards in real life can indeed detach their tails, a method typically used to trick their predators. The detached tail will even continue to wiggle around for a short while to further the illusion, and the lizard will grow a new tail in a matter of weeks. This process is called autotomy, and is not at all exclusive to lizards - spiders, crabs, lobsters and even octopuses are known to sever and regrow their own body parts.
