These brown anoles have pretty much supplanted our native green anoles, especially in populated areas. Anoles, and most lizards I think, will lose their tail to escape a predator and it will regrow. Apparently something went haywire with this one's new appendage.

Cool, and agree on the oddity-ness. Here's the only one I've seen in 40+ yrs of actively looking for lizards. I assume the tail only partially breaks off and then reattaches, but also grows a replacement from the wound. I believe this is an Iberian wall lizard, found in Parque Natural Sierra de las Nieves in Spain.
