[National Geographic Wallpaper] Thorny Devil (가시도마뱀)
Alice Springs Desert Park, Australia
1998
Frans Lanting
“With the profile of a dinosaur and the texture of a rose bush, a thorny devil in Alice Springs Desert Park looks like trouble, but this slow-moving, six-inch [15-centimeter] lizard eats only ants. When alarmed, it tucks its head between its legs and offers the lump on its neck???a false head???to predators.”
???From “The Variety of Life,” February 1999, National Geographic magazine

Thorny devils are well-known for the many, large spines on their bodies. Their large spines are entirely boneless, only two parietal spines are supported by modest bony bosses on the skull. Their bodies are covered with thick shields and spiny cones and they are marked with golden and brown patches that serve to camouflage them in their arid habitats. They are extremely difficult to find because of their camouflage and escape detection even at close quarters and with experts who are actively looking for them. |
