This guy was chasing birds when I was camping out in Ft Davis.
Found this little guy hiding on our ranch one day. I haven't seen one since I was a kid, good to know they are still around.

What is the "little guy" hiding on your ranch?~ Ronald Reagan, June 11, 1981"Why is it inflationary if the people keep their own money and spend it the way they want to and it's not inflationary if the government takes it and spends it the way it wants to?" -

That little guy is a Texas Horned Toad Lizard, they really are cool creatures.
Here is a little info form the TPWD website.
Other Names
Horny Toad
Texas Status
Threatened
Description
The Texas horned lizard or "horny toad" is a flat-bodied and fierce-looking lizard. The head has numerous horns, all of which are prominent, with two central head spines being much longer than any of the others. This lizard is brownish with two rows of fringed scales along each side of the body. On most Texas horned lizards, a light line can be seen extending from its head down the middle of its back. It is the only species of horned lizard to have dark brown stripes that radiate downward from the eyes and across the top of the head.
Habitat
They can be found in arid and semiarid habitats in open areas with sparse plant cover. Because horned lizards dig for hibernation, nesting and insulation purposes, they commonly are found in loose sand or loamy soils.
Distribution
Texas horned lizards range from the south-central United States to northern Mexico, throughout much of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and New Mexico.
Other
The Texas horned lizard currently is listed as a threatened species in Texas (federal category C2).Comment

A buddy who traveled across Canada, down the East Coast, stayed with me in Texas for a month, then went to Mexico for 4 months before returning home to Canada. Tent camped most of the way, thats hardcore.
My ride rigged for a couple nights camping.
Couple nights in Davis Mountain State Park in Fort Davis Texas. Sold the FJ for the Jeep. I still need to go camping in my Jeep.Comment
