Hand raised. "A tail, Professor...and I guess, whatever animal it had belonged to, the tail has the ability to regenerate itself, not to mention the flexibility it holds, aaand..." he had nothing further to say.

"I'm assuming that's a tail to an animal, but as to what animal I'm not entirely sure. Is it the tail from some kind of lizard?"

"It is a tail, Professor. Maybe because some tails such as lizards can be grown back..?" Dianna said as she lowered her hand. She wondered whether it was going to be squiggling forever. It is rather weird and annoying to watch.

Thought she had killed the poor little guy and came home crying. "Or...perhaps a salamander's?"

It was Potions after all though, she might as well get used to it. She took a deep breath.
"Perhaps the tail of a gecko, Professor? The nerves in the tail twitch randomly sometimes, and it still flicks to warn off predators." she stated, the wiggling tail wanting to make her scream. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

"It is a type of lizard, yes, it's actually from the Salamander family, and it's used in potions a lot. It's a newt. It's used for its regenerative properties. See, newts have the ability to regenerate many bodyparts... limbs, eyes, spinal cords, intestines, upper and lower jaws... even hearts." She said and turned to allow everyone to see the newt tail. "This is from a warty newt, or crested newt which are native of this area..." She put down the tail and pulled the sopophorous beans. "What are these and why are we using them?" She asked.
