defense method

Blood ejection: When threatened, they can expel a jet of blood from the ducts located at the corners of their eyes. The blood can travel up to 1.5 meters away. This mechanism not only surprises and scares predators, but also has an unpleasant taste and smell, especially for mammals such as coyotes and foxes. Blood contains chemical compounds that can repel predators. Mimicry: Their coloration allows them to blend into their desert surroundings, making them difficult to detect. This camouflage ability is an effective first line of defense against visual predators such as birds of prey. Rapid, zigzag movement: When attempting to escape, these lizards can move rapidly in a zigzag pattern to confuse predators and avoid capture.
