Wacky Word Wednesday - Decorticate

Decorticate

Lizards decorticate
without help or disturbed state,

that layer they shed to feel great.
 
Sneakily they regulate
their ability to decorticate.

Every week I rhyme and define a new wacky word.
Come on over to indulge your inner nerd.
And, please let me know of any weird words you've heard.
