What does a thorny devil look like for kids?
Thorny devils are small, slow-moving lizards. The upper part of their bodies are covered with sharp spikes which serve two functions: defence, and to channel all moisture towards their mouth. Their colouring fits in with their environment. Those in sandier desert areas will have the mottled colouring of the sand, while others in regions with different soil will have darker colouring to match their surroundings. The thorny devil's tail also has an extra protuberance to make it look like a second head. This is so that a would-be predator goes for the tail, rather than the lizard's real head.

How does a thorny devil protect itself and survive in its habitat?
The thorny devil's scales change color due to seasonal changes. Also, differences in temperature affect them. This makes these animals seem almost invisible to predators, which gives them a better chance for survival. However, if they do get faced with a predator they tuck their heads under their body and reveal a "fake head." This is essentially a ball of spikes located behind their actual head. If a predator goes for this they get a mouthful of spines. So they have other defense mechanisms in addition to camouflage.
