Texas Horned Lizard





Last week we were fossil collecting in the Blue Hill Shale in Mitchell County, Kansas. At the end of the day, I looked down and saw a Texas Horned Lizard in the grass. It was only about 60 degrees and I think he was just out trying to catch enough sun to warm up... So I picked him up and took some close-up photos. Although he looks sort of mean and dangerous, he was pretty docile at the time. Actually, about the only thing they eat is ants.
