The Thorny Dragon is a small species of lizard native to Australia with the average adult growing to around 20cm in length and weighing about the same as the average mouse. The thorny dragon is best known for having an extremely spiky looking appearance that blends well into the vast Australian desert due to the colour of its skin and in between the cone shaped spikes, little channels form along the body which enables it to collect water from any part of its body which is then transported to the mouth.
