Title: toad-like lizard, Phrynosoma platyrhinos.
Habitat: From Southwestern Canada to Guatemala, most live in the southwestern United States and Mexico.
If a predator tries to grab this lizard, it will shoot him with blood from its own eyes. At the same time, she aims at the enemy's eyes. Her blood has a disgusting taste and causes severe irritation, because poisons from ants eaten by the lizard accumulate in it. A reptile can spend a third of its blood volume on shots without harm to itself.

PS the incredible ability of an animal to protect itself from predators. I watched the video, and it's not a very nice picture of course. One thing I don't quite understand is how she splashes blood? After all, for this you need to at least get hurt. Or is it nature that somehow miraculously came up with such an eye structure? It became interesting to me and I found a little information about how this happens.
Spray blood from the corners of the eyes. This is achieved by blocking the outflow of blood from the head, as a result of which the blood pressure in it increases, causing a rupture of the capillaries around the eyelids. Such an attack has a stunning effect on a predator; in addition, the taste of lizard blood is unpleasant for cats and dogs (although it does not affect birds of prey).
Nature produces the obvious and incredible. You can't stop admiring amazing and unknown things.
