The Thorny Devil is a quirky little creature that can be found in Australia. Not only are their looks kind of wtf, their movements are a little whacky as well, but what really got me is their ability to suck moisture up from their belly instead of drinking it through their mouth.

Not to mention that they shoot blood out of their eyeballs to deter predators.

I'm imagining Yoshi's 'LUM' noise every time he laps up an ant in this video.

Lizards have to be my favourite group of animals. And cats. Everyone loves teh kitties.
