Fun Facts

The Texas Horned Lizard is one out of fourteen species of its spiky relatives! When in danger it will shoot blood out of its eyes! It is adapted to arid places with sparse vegetation! Wow,those are some cool facts and those are my only ones.

The Texas Horned Lizard rarely shoots its blood out of its eyes at humans instead if you hold one it will most likely hiss at you sorry if that disappoints you. :(
