:Australia's Thorny Devil, Molock horridus, is not exported and is an endangered species in Australia. Its diet is extremely specialized, even more so than the horned lizards of North America, and eats over 1500 ants a day. The ants in its diet are only found in Australia, and no where else in the world. Zoos cannot even maintain them in caprivity. Enjoy the bearded dragons. Lester G. Milroy III
