IT FINALLY HAPPENED! The Texas horned lizards have arrived! Several breeding pairs will reside here in our horned lizard facility, in partnership with Texas Parks and Wildlife. We are hopeful and excited to see baby horned lizards in the future. You wouldn't think so but being a large pasture facility will come in handy for raising these little ones. It means we have lots of acreage for harvester ants, their main food source. Believe it or not our animal care staff use a little vacuum, but not s

“Those were everywhere when I was a kid!” The Texas horned lizard has become increasingly rare in our region over the years, largely due to agriculture, habitat loss, and the spread of invasive red imported fire ants. To help bring this iconic species back to our part of Texas, Fossil Rim has joined the captive breeding program led by Texas Parks and Wildlife. Here’s to hope—and horned lizards—returning home! | Fossil Rim Wildlife Center

Call them horny toads, horned frogs, Phrynosoma cornutum or the Texas horned lizard, the state reptile is in dire straits. For several decades, they’ve been vanishing from Texas landscapes for reasons researchers cannot fully explain. We went to TCU – Texas Christian University to see just how much fans know about the real-life SuperFrog.

We have our first documented hatch of Texas Horned Lizards! As near as we can figure, about 25 new little lizards joined our population about 2 weeks early. Warm summer temperatures evidently go a long way towards speeding up the hatching process! We don't have a good way to keep up with horned lizards when they are this small, but we sure hope we get to see them again in the future! Good luck little lizards!
