Horny Toad


We saw this Horned Toad (really a Horned lizard but, hey, that's what they call them), Phrynosoma platyrhinos, up in Mission Trails Park. He was out basking in the middle of the path. They live largely on ants, eating up to 100 a day. The spines protect them from snakes, roadrunners and other predators.
