Of all the North American lizards, Horned Lizards are the most fearsome-looking and distinctive by virtue of the pointed, protruding "horns" above their eyes. The Horned Toad, (Phrynosoma douglassi brevirostre,) commonly called "horny toad " by the children who hunt it, was adopted as Wyoming state reptile in February, 1993.

The Horned Toad is actually a lizard with a flat, broad body and spiny skin, resembling a toad. Sharp, horny spines stick out of its head and smaller spines stick out on its body. These spines protect the Horned Toad from predators. The Horned toad squirts jets of blood from its eyes when threatened by a predator.

Diet for a Horned toad is mainly insects, but it will eat small creatures such as spiders. 

Wyoming-ites is a series of  "life in Wyoming" lifestyles and experiences!
