Ants are known to perform self-amputation or autotomy as a defense mechanism when necessary. This can involve sacrificing a limb to escape from predators or when trapped. Ants have specialized muscles that allow them to cleanly sever their own limbs at specific joints, and they can survive without the lost limb due to their ability to regenerate over time.
