thorny devil lizards need spikes to camouflages in the desert that they live in so predators do not see them
The thorny devil is not considered to be endangered, so there is no information on how many live in the wild. They can be found in dry habitats in Australia.
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. An image of the thorny devil can be seen at the related link below.
Thorny devil babies do not stay with their parents at all. Thorny devils lay their eggs in chambers in a burrow which is about 30cm deep. After this, they have no further parental involvement. Once the young thorny devils hatch, they are able to begin eating ants immediately.
Making fun of the devil is a mainly 20th-21st century Christian attitude. Probably many/most Christians still regard him with fear and awe. So, the percentage of the Earth's population that makes fun of the devil would be fairly small - just a proportion of the world's Christians.
Because it's so small and unnoticable...
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.
