Shivers of 'bloody eyes' to defend the horns of horned lizards

This horny lizard species when hit by the enemy in the same way, from their eyes will spill blood into the enemy's face and quickly "escape".

There are many strange mysteries about animals, from the ability to "superhuman" camouflage to the possibilities of bizarre hunting. One of those species is horned lizards with the ability to spray blood from the eyes .

Horned lizards (lizards with horns phrynosoma) have the scientific name Phrynosoma platyrhinos, inhabiting mainly in the arid deserts and deserts of the Americas like Canada, Guatemala, Mexico, .

Lizards with phrynosoma horns are terrifying predators of other small creatures like beetles, ants, spiders, .

Just like other lizards, phrynosoma-capable lizards are also capable of disguising themselves. They often change their skin color to hide in their surroundings to evade enemies.

But for predators with super-sensitive hearing like snakes, "invisibility" cannot help them hide. At that time, the horny lizard will inflate its body twice as much as its normal size, let out hissing sounds and hold spikes at the enemy to intimidate them.

If both of these tactics are void, the horned lizard will have to resort to the weapon that is ultimately their most powerful weapon, spraying blood eyes like a water gun on an enemy.

In a life-threatening situation, this lizard will increase the pressure on the blood vessels in the eye to spray out a fresh blood that can be as high as 1.5 meters. Although the lizard's blood does not contain toxins that are dangerous to their enemies, it is enough to make the enemy surprise, panic, and run away. Taking that opportunity, the lizard quickly escaped.
