*** About Texas Horned Lizard: Known scientifically as Phrynosoma cornutum, the Texas Horned Lizard is famed for its distinctive, crown-like horns and its ability to blend into the arid landscapes of the American Southwest. It feeds mainly on ants, using its camouflaged appearance to ambush prey. Due to habitat loss and other ecological pressures, their populations have dwindled, making scenes like the one depicted increasingly precious. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserve this species, often affectionately called the "horny toad.", a misnomer, as it is indeed a lizard not a toad.
