Creature Feature- The Weird Beauty of the Thorny Devil


Good Morning! Welcome to Weirdbeautiful and Happy Monday to you.
Today's Creature-feature is a Thorny Devil; an Australian lizard with the unfair latin name Moloch horridus. Thorny devils live in arid scrubland and desert in central Australia and can be reared in captivity and- as this photograph by KeresH shows- handled by man without ill-effect. The picture has a GNU Free documentation license- you can find details of that [here]. There is more information on the thorny devil [here].
