SPIKED by Sharpest Lizard on Earth! (Thorny Devil)

On this adventure I’m in Western Australia tracking down the sharpest lizard in the world! Covered from head to tail with spikes as sharp as a rose thorn. I’m going to put it to the test and see if it’s sharp enough to draw blood!

The Thorny Devil has always been my favorite lizard. They may be spiky, but they are just too adorable!

Thorney devils are so awesome. so happy you're in Australia especially in WA

[AntonioPerez]

As someone who absolutely loves lizards, this is both the coolest and cutest lizards I have ever seen!

[MayaMationsOfficial]

Imagine being a thorny devil and just being lifted by a huge, unknown creature and just hear “WOAAAAHHHH, WE JUST FOUND A HORNY DEVILLLL!!” 💀💀

[lucentk]

The amount of effort you put into just finding a creature is praise worthy. Searching in those hidden lands of Australia is amazing facing all the dangers and hurdles. Thanks for the amazing experience. Keep on doing the good work

The appearance was cool and all, but the way it drinks through it's feet is SO COOL.

The Thorny Devil is one of the most common lizards in the west outback of Australia but it is indeed one of the most bizarre and cute looking animal.

[hankpeterschmidt]

I find all reptiles adorable - even Komodo dragons. The thorny devil is no exception.

[YochevedDesigns]

Devils are so stinkin' adorable! It's a good thing that their diet is oddly specific, because I could easily see them getting wiped out by the pet trade. (Just don't try smuggling one in your pants!)

[thescythe]

I was thinking where do you find this animal? The first thing that came to mind is Australia.😂

[Markthedude-yi]

This guy has no fear if it was me I would have pooped my pants 😂

[killercroc]

That water drinking ability would be REALLY handy during flood season...

As long as it comes with filtration anyway.

In 4th grade I did a report on the thorny devil. Love this little guy.

[SumAussieCobber]

My mum grew up playing with these little guys and she always said they one of the most unique animals she had a chance of spending time with,

[ilovecats]

The thorny devil was really cool looking. I really liked the color patterns on it body. The coolest thing about him was the way the color changed when he was in the water getting hydrated.
I thought the spikes were really cool. I know they are not cool enough to touch, but still cool looking.
My favorite thing about them is the fact that they can reduce some of the aunt population. I wish we had the thorny devil in the United States, that way we could have less aunts.

What a beautiful little creature, like a tiny dragon. I absolutely love it. And sad that I never heard anything about it, before this video.

[joeson]

I'm finally back at this channel after 4 years, the videos are still goated as it was.

[K_pher]

What a beautiful lizard. I never knew such things existed in this world.

Australia is the coolest place for little lizards. This, the Bearded Dagon, the Shingleback Skink, the Frilled lizard. I want one.
