Product Information

The Thorny Devil is a small Australian lizard that has many different names, including the thorny devil, the mountain devil, thorny lizard, moloch and thorny dragon. You can personalise this mug with that special person's name to show that she or he is literally a Horny Devil! Currently, this species is classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List and its numbers today are stable. To defend against predators, such as buzzards and Australian bustards (large land birds), thorny devils curl themselves to protect their head and expose a bony mass on their neck often referred to as a false head. Thorny devils have a number of defenses against predators and specializations for living in the desert.

They are found in the sand plain and sand ridge desert in both the mallee belt and deep interior of the continent. Thorny devil lizards are part of class Reptilia and mainly live throughout the arid parts of Australia. High Quality - This Mascot Costume is a premium product; it is manufactured by a team that has over 40 years’ experience. The breakthroughs and innovations that we uncover lead to new ways of thinking, new connections, and new industries.The species holds cultural importance for many Aboriginal groups – for example, the Anmatyerre/Alyawarr people of the Northern Territory have a dreaming story surrounding the species.

The thorny lizard’s unusual gait entails walking slowly, stopping often, and rocking back and forth. A nesting burrow of about 30 centimeters underground is where the eggs will stay until they hatch about three or four months later. Not only does their spiny armor protect them from predators, it also helps them absorb water in their arid habitat.In the morning and late afternoon they locate a trail and lap them up with their short, sticky tongues. Capillary action is the phenomenon that a liquid will flow in narrow spaces in opposition to gravity without being pushed.

Adsorption and movement of water by skin of the Australian thorny devil (Agamidae: Moloch horridus)". Thorny devils have another defense mechanism in which they inflate their chests with air to make themselves bigger and harder for a predator to swallow.They obtain water from the dew that condenses on their bodies overnight, during rare rainfalls, or by brushing up against dew-coated grass. They’re also thought to bury themselves in sand, in extreme circumstances, to draw moisture from it.

These lizards get their name from the conical spikes across their whole body, and they can camouflage themselves in their environments.

They’re also found in the Birriliburu Indigenous Protected Area where we partner with the Martu people to support work such as fauna surveys and reinstating traditional fire patterns.
