A friend send me this video today, featuring the freaking cool defense mechanism of the Golden tailed gecko, a lizard from Australia. Yeah, no surprises there, the place is full of weird creatures 😅
Anyways,enjoy:
Gooey, smelly, slightly irritant to the eyes but overall harmless... Almost like my...ahh...nevermind. 🍌 💦
This lizard reminded me of the Phrynosoma lizards I have blogged about many, many years ago.. These little fuckers actually squirt blood from their fucking eyes to deter pretadors:
At least 8 Phrynosoma species are able to squirt an aimed stream of blood from the corners of the eyes for a distance up to 5 ft (1.5 m). They do this by restricting the blood flow leaving the head, thereby increasing blood pressure and rupturing tiny vessels around the eyelids. The blood not only confuses predators but also tastes foul to canine and feline predators. It appears to have no effect against predatory birds. source and more info
That's even cooler if you ask me ^-^
Here's a video from Natgeo showing one of them in action
Guess this is the closest thing we can get to a real life Superman shooting lasers from the eyes ? 😅

Ok, ok. I have kept the best for the last. Shooting stuff is cool, but you only get one chance to hit the target.
Well, there is one lizard that pulls the ultimate cheat for maximum AOE. The fart lizard spiny tailed gecko, which is closely to the gecko from the first video:
Mandatory @epic-fail tag for this one is mandatory 🌬️
Ok, that's enough chemical warfare lizards I think for today.
Hope you had some laughs. My initial plan was to write an opinion piece about the whole Israel-Palestine conflict but fuck that. We are doomed from too many fronts at this point anyways, I guess it only makes sense for humanity to hit the pedal harder and get this shit over one day sooner.
If I lick it will I trip balls 😵

the stinky lizard is my spirit animal :P
also would love to read an opinion piece about the disaster that's unfolding in that piece of desert everybody loses their minds over
Well let's just say it's not simply a disaster in a desert in the middle of nowhere. 😂
no, it's the most fucking sensitive piece of desert in the world :)
My next kid will be named "Phrynosoma"!
What can we do with $FART TOKEN?
Any ideas?
Rug pull?
I have never heard of a blood squirting lizard. I would have argued if not for the documentary. Nature is really truly wide
Yeah, nature gets really crazy some times 😂
Australia holds the first place in dangerous/strange/wtf creatures by far. Awesome species, thanks for sharing!
Australia, land of the weird 😂
Both are totally insane. And of course they are in Australia. All the weird and most deadly shit is there.
There are wars between Israel VS Palestine
Nah better make a blog about lizard with cool chemicals 🥸🥸🥸🥸
Yeah 😂
Thanks for sharing yet another wonder of the nature - smelly goo, deterring blood - What wonders we have in nature.
One of those weird Australian creatures for sure....
Good to know about it but it's so terrible. The only thing in this world who I hates the most is lizard.
Lizards are cute 🥰
