Two Headed Devil

A lizard with two heads?!


The thorny devil is a cute lizard who has very rough thorn covered skin.

When in danger these little guys (they grow to be about 4-6 inches long), also have a defense mechanism.

An interesting fact is, they have something called a false head which is located behind their real head. 

They lower their "true head", if you will. Thus showing their false head so when, let's say, a bird comes by they just take the thorn covered false head.
