Texas Horned Lizards
Texas horned lizards do not look like something to mess with. Their spiked skin can be pretty intimidating, but any predator that dares to continue its hunt is going to be met with a sight usually reserved in nightmares and scary movies.
The lizard species has the ability to squirt a stream of blood from their eyes and mouths. The blood can travel up to five feet, and the predators likely drop the lizard after they’ve tasted the liquid. The defense mechanism is accomplished when the lizard increases the blood pressure in its head to such an extent that the blood vessels around the eyelids rupture.
