Bloody horned lizards

Description:

Horned lizards have a really gross way of staying safe from predators. They squirt a stream of blood from their eyes to scare their enemies away! This is just one of the fascinating facts kids will discover as they explore the world of these blood-squirting creatures. Large, eye-popping photos and clear, grade-appropriate text engage emergent readers as they learn all about the unique and gross ways horned lizards protect themselves. A section in the back of the book profiles another animal that protects itself in a similar way, to help reinforce the concept of defense mechanisms.
