The Australian thorny devil is covered with soft spines. When water lands on the thorny devil's back, whether by rain or just overnight dew, it runs down the reptile's spines and along thousands of tiny grooves, which carry the water to the corners of the thorny devil's mouth.
Its colouring ranges from yellow to reddish-brown to black, depending upon which type of soil it is crossing. It is able to use camouflage as protection, because it can change colour to match the soil beneath it. This also helps its survival.
No Thorny devils cannot climb cactuses. Incidentally, cacti are not even native to Australia, which is the natural environment of the thorny devil.

The Thorny devil, an unusual spiky lizard of Australia, is currently neither endangered not officially threatened, but its numbers are decreasing. These desert-dwelling reptiles are protected under Australia's Wildlife Conservation Act.
As with many Australian native animals, its greatest threat comes from habitat destruction and the incursions of humans into its environment. The introduction of feral cats also poses a threat as it is only a relatively small lizard, growing up to 20cm in length. In its native habitat, it has few natural predators; among them are goannas and birds of prey.
Adjectives to describe a thorny devil would include thorny, sharp, yellowish-brown, well-camouflaged, slow, ungainly, enigmatic.
