Thorny devil, welcome to General Finnish Ontology YSO! YSO board had a meeting last week in which a good number of new additions were made to the ontology, among them the aforementioned beast alongside coconut lorikeet and diamondback moth, to name but a few. Being a general ontology of 30,000+ concepts YSO is not only about animals but animals are certainly most welcome, particularly if they look as stunning as these guys.

Thorny devil (Moloch horridus) from the Melbourne Museum.
This species has a ‘fake head’ growing from its shoulders. This is to fool predators–the ‘fake head’ will pop off, allowing the lizard to get away. It’ll never grow back, but at least it gives the reptile a second chance at life.
