The Thorny devil, an unusual spiky lizard of Australia, is currently neither endangered not officially threatened, but it still has numerous dangers as seen in the fact that its numbers are decreasing. These desert-dwelling reptiles are protected under Australia's Wildlife Conservation Act.
As with many Australian native animals, its greatest threat comes from habitat destruction and the incursions of humans into its environment. The introduction of feral cats also poses a threat as it is only a relatively small lizard, growing up to 20cm in length. In its native habitat, it has few natural predators; among them are goannas and Birds of Prey.
