Texas horned lizard making comeback
A coalition of zoos and wildlife scientists has released into the wild 204 captive-raised hatchlings of the once ubiquitous Texas horned lizard, more commonly known as the horny toad.
New evidence indicates that previously released lizards are successfully reproducing, according to a Texas Parks & Wildlife Department news release.
The horned lizard is one of 1,300 Texas species of concern, which are rare or declining and need special efforts to prevent being listed as endangered.
