LE MOLOCH
THERE IS FRENCH TEXT OF THE BACK OF THE CARD
Australia is home to many magnificent animals, but one of the most
bizarre of all is a spiny lizard known as the thorny devil or mountain devil.
A thorny devil was first exhibited in London by John Gould in 1840. This
spectacular specimen was illustrated by John Gray in 1841 who gave the
thorny devil its official scientific name, the Latin binomial
Moloch
horridus
. Gray named this species of lizard after a fearful Canaanite god called Moloch.
