The Thorny Devil, also known commonly as the mountain devil, thorny lizard, thorny dragon, and moloch, is a species of lizard in the family Agamidae. The species is endemic to Australia.
The thorny devil has spiny orange, yellow, and black skin with a pretend second head on the back of its neck. They lift their tail and walk along with a slow, jerky motion like a wind-up toy.
The thorny devil is diurnal (active during the daytime).
The spikes all over their bodies help them get a drink of water in the dry sand country. In the mornings, they rub up against dewdrops on the spinifex, and the moisture runs between the spikes along grooves that lead directly into their mouths.
Thorny devils live in the sand country of Central Australia.
