The Lizard That Shoots Blood from Its Eyes 🦎

The horned lizard has a fascinating defense mechanism: when threatened, it can squirt blood from its eyes! This blood-squirting tactic, which can reach up to 5 feet, is aimed at predators like coyotes. The blood contains chemicals that taste foul to the predator, deterring it from further pursuit. This adaptation is rare and unique among animals, making the horned lizard one of nature’s most unusual self-defenders.
