Horned lizards, or horny toads, as they are popularly known throughout the West, have long had a particular mystique in American folklore. The ancient peoples of the Southwest, the Anasazi and the Mimbres, depicted the little lizard on pottery and in petroglyphs. In more recent times, it represented health and happiness in the symbology of Native Americans.Among Americans today, the horny toad has an almost legendary appeal. Many westerners remember times when the lizards were plentiful and children kept them on string leashes or in boxes as pets. Dried horned lizards were sold in the roadside curio shops along the nation’s major highways. More recently, as the lizards’ habitat has shrunk and as imported fire ants have supplanted their favored prey, the numbers of horned lizards have declined drastically. In many regions where the little creatures once abounded, they are no longer seen. In Texas, two of the three native species, the Texas horned lizard and the mountain short-horned lizard, are now designated as threatened. Jane Manaster has written this book for a general audience, but she discusses all aspects of the lizards’ biology as well as the horned lizard’s place in the culture of the West. Most of all, she has written it to attract attention to this little animal that deserves our respect and protection.
  • Great little book giving the reader information on the history, behavior, & the habitat of the Horned Lizard, as well as other interesting particulars of this fascinating little lizard. Lots of captivating details. Worth the purchase!

  • Well written book. Lots of interesting facts and an easy read. I would recommend this book for any nature lover.

  • It was a great book for introducing the novice like myself to understand, habits of this ancient lizard, and very regarded animal by native peoples of the southwest u.s.

  • ok, theres a lil something for everyone here, some tales, some science, some husbandry, and pix too! whats lacking is more about the horny toads in mexico, especially pix! its not fair to tell us theres 14 species and only show us pix of 7! still tho, you cant really snivel, since information on horned lizards is so hard to find. at any rate buy this book, its worth it.
