One animal is the desert horned lizard. Sometimes, if it feels threatened, it will squirt blood from its eyes! Another animal is the saharan horned viper. It has little horns on top of the eyes, and when threatened, makes a rasping noise by rubbing its scales together. The Australian thorny devil is a strange looking small lizard whose back is covered by dozens of sharp spikes. These spikes actually help capture and direct condensation down the lizard's back and along fine channels that take the moisture directly to the thorny devil's mouth. The thorny devil moves in strange, jerky movements, that help it to look more like a bunch of wind-blown leaves, and less likely to attract the attention of potential predators.
