Look at this little cutie! The Texas horned lizard or "horned frog" is a stocky, short-tailed lizard with several large “horns" protruding from the back of its head. They defend themselves by puffing up their bodies with air to look bigger, or they can squirt foul-tasting blood out the corners of their eyes to confuse a predator.
