One of Australia's most iconic reptiles, the spike-covered Thorny Devil lives in the hot arid interior of the country. These lizards jerk as they move along the sand dunes, feeding on thousands of ants per day.
Thorny Devils are so specialised for life in the desert, that they can lay in any dew they come across and absorb water through capillary action to their mouth via grooves in their scales!
