Thorny devil can fire the blood-colored fluid removed from his eyes. the liquid is actually a toxin derived from the ant

 
Thorny devils have a barbed protrusion on the back of his neck that looks like a head fake. When threatened, these lizards are actually tucking the head between the legs front and make a fake head is in the actual head position. This will create difficulty swallowing lizard predators, even snakes though. When threatened, the thorny devil will also suck air and make his body bloated. This is an another anti-predator defense mechanism. 

The thorny devil main food is ants. Within a minute, this lizard will eat 25 to 45 ants. But sometimes, small objects like small pebbles, pieces of wood, small flowers and small insect eggs are also eaten. But perhaps not intentionally. Once eating, thorny devil can spend around 1000 to 2500 ants. Thorny devils have hygroscopic system of grooves in their skin that lead to the corner of their mouths. Thorny Devil take the water by capillary action through these pathways. Thorny devils using sip mechanism to move the water along the grooves and into their mouths. Thorny devils are really able to drink water from the dew that fell on their backs and can get bergram grams of water in rain storm
