Kill Kill Kill: The Cytherea of Lizards

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Not much killing in this video (unless you count stupid ants) so much as a display of an oddity, in this case a lizard firing blood from its eye socket as a defense mechanism. The narrator callowly asks, “Has there been a weirder use of an eye socket? Or of blood?” I can easily reply yes on both accounts. Left unanswered is why the coyote is so repelled by having blood squirted at its face. One would think blood would be part of the whole eating-the-lizard equation, but then he was probably off to order some ACME blood-diverting mask.

Thanks to reader Pip.
