Thorny Devil

Thorny devil

This lizard is found in Australia. It is hard to see because it is so well camouflaged. They move slow and they rock back and forth as they move. They have an armor of sharp spines all over their body. The big ones are on their head and back, with smaller ones on their legs and feet. This protects them while they eat insects on the ground. They can eat 2,500 insects at one meal with their long tongue.
