Thorny Devil

It's Teddy's favorite animal, the Thorny Devil! Join us as we learn all about this six-inch mountain dragon. It's got more defense mechanisms than any other animal we've studied (including a fake head – cool!) and has a very interesting way of drinking (foot water anyone?). You can also check out our first ever Cool Facts About Animals video, explaining how capillary action works.  And yes it has to do with Thorny Devils. It's on our newly-minted YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/VcmaiQt6zC4  Thanks so much to our Patreon sponsor Cormac for being our Patreon sponsor!
