They can eat 5,000 insects just in one day. ‘Boy that’s a lot of insects.’ If you were wondering how the thorny devil/ Moloch is adapted to the desert then I’ll tell you. Its folded skin traps tiny drops of water that run down it’s back in to his mouth. Only those tiny drops of water can last months or years for that little thorny guy. ===
