Reptile 1


I was tossing football with my sons when I came across a desert horned lizard. This lizard was around 3 to 5 inches long, which is about as long as a stapler. Also, it is about 5.5 inches wide. The color of these lizards vary depending on the soil surrounding it. They have long horns and a dark tail. Desert horned lizards eat beetles, spiders and some plant material. Their predators are prairie falcons, loggerhead shrikes and longnose leopard lizards. Its young are called juvenile.
