They can puff up their bodies, making themselves bigger. They can also roll over onto their backs, exposing their bellies, and dig their spines into the ground, making it harder for the enemy to get their mouths around them. Eight species of horned lizard can squirt blood from their eyes at their enemies to warn them off.

Are all track spikes removable - Is it bad to take them off your shoe and then run with them?

Track spikes do not have a lot of support for your feet. Some have better support than others. For example, sprinter spikes do not have a heel or an arch. Distance spikes have some cushion for the heel. Overall, it is bad to run in spikes but you can still do it. Some work better than others though. It would be a better idea to run in distance spikes than sprinter spikes.
