## Resource

What if humans could regrow lost arms or legs the way some animals can? In this week’s Squiz Kids Science Short, we explore the incredible science of regeneration: from lizards that regrow tails to axolotls capable of rebuilding limbs, spinal cords and even parts of their brains. Could this research one day help humans regrow damaged body parts too? Grab your lab coat, and let’s explore one of the wildest abilities in nature.
