RE: The Regal Horned Lizard

When I was a little boy, living on base at Fort Hood Texas, we had horny toads everywhere. That's what we called them. I would go down by the creek and catch them all day long. I believe they are on the endangered species list now. So sad. 🙏

Hi Wonderwop, thanks for your comment! I agree with you, it’s sad to hear these creatures are now endangered, specially the ones you were used to seeing. The particular type that I have photographed is not listed as endangered but the Texas horned lizard is. Such a sad thing to happen.

I think it was because of the use of DDT pesticides. I'm glad to hear that yours is not endangered. 🤞

Me too! So far so good, hopefully it’s stays that way.
