Greater Short-Horned Lizard

Phrynosoma hernandesi

Phrynosoma translates into toad-body, while hernandesi is in honor of Francisco Hernández, one of the first Europeans to have described horned-lizards.

Family: Phrynosomatidae

Fun Fact: “When not active on the surface, the lizards burrow into the soil or occupy rodent burrows.” (IUCN)

Habitat: They are endemic to mountains and shrublands from Alberta, Canada south to Durango, Mexico.

Ecosystem Role: They help control insect and spider populations. They provide food for birds of prey and snakes.

Conservation Status: Least Concern
