1. Self Defenses By Dominic

2. Intro Do you know the Self defenses for animals and plants? If you don’t, then you are in for a treat because I am the most informed scientist in the world about animal defenses and plant defenses and plant defenses.

3. The Thorns Of A Rose The thorns of a rose protect the rose by not letting animals eat the rose. The smell attracts bugs and insects the bugs and insects smell the smell and go for it but… when the insect or bug tries to eat the rose but then it gets poked by the rose and leaves with a empty stomach and the thorns of a rose are physical.

4. Poisonous Lizards And Snakes Snakes and lizards use venom to protect itself and to catch prey. When the fangs are not needed the fangs collapse at the top of the mouth the fangs squirt out the venom to the prey when the snake or lizard squirts the venom out is a behavioral but the venom in the snake is physical.

5. The Basilisk Lizard The basilisk lizard has many names but lets not get into that. The basilisk lizards defenses is sprinting over water like Jesus walking over water witch is one of its name sprinting over water is a behavioral.

6. Lizard Tails Lizard tails are amazing they fall off and grow back. A lizard tail falls off when the lizard feels pressured. When the tail falls off it wiggles back and fourth it confuses the predator and lizard has time to flee. When the tail grows back it can’t fall off a second time the tail is physical but the tail falling off at the right time is behavioral.

7. Conclusion These are the defenses for animals and plants. Some where physical some where behavioral. I bet you learned a lot about animal and plant defenses from your wealthy scientist Dominic Mazzoli and remember Good Night America!
