Phrynosoma Goodei
Phrynosoma goodei, commonly known as Goode's horned lizard, is a species of lizard found primarily in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. This lizard is characterized by its flattened body, spiny scales, and distinctive horn-like projections on its head. It typically inhabits arid and semi-arid environments, often blending in with the rocky terrain.
Goode's horned lizard primarily feeds on ants, using its specialized tongue to capture them. This species is known for its unique defense mechanisms, including the ability to flatten its body and remain motionless to avoid detection by predators. Additionally, it can expel blood from its eyes as a last resort to deter threats.
