@optilacrity: Horned lizards (genus Phrynosoma) really can squirt blood from their eyes. • They do this as a defense mechanism, especially against canid predators like coyotes and foxes. • The blood can shoot up to about 3–5 feet (≈1–1.5 meters). • The blood tastes bad to these predators. That foul taste likely comes from chemicals derived from the ants the lizards eat (their main diet). #blood #defense. #lizard #nature #coyote
