Horned Lizards

Now in a newly revised and expanded edition, Horned Lizards by freelance writer and Austin, Texas-based historian Jane Manaster is an informed and informative guide to a fascinating group of Southwestern lizards, who are colloquially referred to as "horny toads", and who posses a very special and distinctive place in both Old West folklore and Native American mythology. The history, biology, habitat, and life cycles of these amazing creatures is accessibly surveyed, as well as contemporary conservation efforts seeking to preserve this threatened species. Black-and-white photographs and a brief inset section of color plates enhance this enjoyable and highly recommended contribution to wildlife and natural history studies.

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.
