T.H.L. = Texas Horned Lizard. Texas horned Lizards can quickly burrow into loose soil to hide. They use their small claws for digging and climbing. If threatened by predators, horned lizards will squirt red stuff from its eyes. (Assuming it is not blood.) from the eyes. The squirting red stuff comes from ducts in the corners of their eyes and can travel a distance of up to three feet (one meter). But how is that possible?!?!?!!?
