Ugh god I hate watching American documentaries. They sound so 'lowest common denominator' with their crappy sound effects for comedic effect.

Not to be a pessimist but how the hell is BLOOD a coyote repellent? Since when does blood scare a carnivore away that actually feasts on the stuff. You think it would make him even hungrier.

from wikipedia

At least four species are also able to squirt an aimed stream of blood from the corners of the eyes for a distance of up to 3 feet. They do this by restricting the blood flow leaving the head, thereby increasing blood pressure and rupturing tiny vessels around the eyelids. This not only confuses predators, but also the blood tastes foul to canine and feline predators. It appears to have no effect against predatory birds. To avoid being picked up by the head or neck, horned lizards duck or elevate their head and orient their cranial horns straight up, or back. If a predator tries to take it by the body, the lizard drives that side of its body down into the ground so that the predator cannot easily get its lower jaw underneath the lizard.

Would also make for a great band name: "The Blood Squirting Lizards"

these are called horny toads. We used to have them all over the place in Texas until the fire ants got them all.

Sorry about that. Strange that it wasn't one of the dupe suggestions when I submitted it considering mine has the exact same title. Oh well, time to *kill it then.

Permanently discarding this video - kill requested by submitter campionidelmondo.
