Horny Toads - Texas Horned Lizard and their habitat

In these videos, I usually find myself talking about plants. But while I was out today looking at different plants, I came across wildlife. This guy right here, the Texas horned lizard, he's a state endangered species here in Texas. The Texas Parks and Wildlife has regulation in place that protects him from in his habitat. But that's one of the unique things that we do here at the seed company is provide seed for the habitat restoration of guys like this. And you can see here, he's about ready to go play. And you can see here, this is the type of habitat that he actually thrives in is a ant bed. So you can see there he's, he's actually moved on to bigger and better things. But these red ant beds, these harvester ant beds are where horny toads, that's what they eat, are these large harvester ants. And you can see here, just looking around that the, this is, this is native habitat for horny toads. It's wide open spaces with, for production and these harvester ants keep these areas cleaned out. And that's where you'll find horny toads is wandering around eating harvester ants.
