I saw this little guy hanging outside the window of a hotel where we were having a conference. I’m very glad to have an iPhone in situations like these.

The Devil’s Details: There Is a Lizard That Shoots Blood from its Eyes

The Regal Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma solare) can shoot blood from its eyes. There really isn’t a lot more to say.

 

 

“The regal horned lizard is a small, flat lizard about the size of the palm of a man’s hand. Though it has spikes all around its body, the regal horn’s main defense is the ability to squirt blood from its eyes.”
