Texas horned lizard - Phrynosoma cornutum

• 2.5-4 inches total length
• Found in dry, flat areas w/ little vegetation
• Active during day
• Prefers warmer temperatures
• Feed on ants

Interesting Fact:

• Horned lizards eat large bodied harvester ants almost exclusively. Except in North eastern Kansas and a few other isolated areas where there are no harvester ant species. In these parts of their range, horned lizards appear to subsist on a species of small "acrobat" ants.
