Texas Horny Toad (Phrynosoma cornutum - Texas Horned Lizard)

thingiverse

The Texas Horned Lizard was once a widespread resident of North Texas, a common sight that brought joy to many. My sister would often catch these fascinating creatures and dress them up in adorable baby doll clothes, releasing them unharmed at the end of each day, leaving us all with cherished memories. Unfortunately, the invasion of fire ants disrupted the horned lizard's natural food supply, which consisted mainly of harvester ants. The use of insecticides to combat the fire ants further exacerbated the decline of the horned lizard population. Today, this remarkable species is classified as threatened, making it a highly protected and sought-after specimen. Owning or possessing one of these incredible creatures is strictly prohibited, a harsh reality that weighs heavily on all who admire them. It's truly disheartening to think about the loss of such an extraordinary creature, for they are indeed incredibly cool. The Digimorph website offers a valuable resource for learning more about these amazing animals, providing a wealth of information and fascinating data.
