The Texas horned lizard is a vicious little critter with the greatest defense mechanism known to lizardkind—as a last resort, they'll strike their enemies with a stream of blood shot straight from their eye. | Great Big Story

Just some tiny horned lizards doing tiny horned lizard things 😌♥️ Curious to see these little ones up close? A few of our newest Texas horned lizards are now visible at the viewing window inside Texas Nature Traders, located in our new Mountains & Desert building! You won’t want to miss them scurrying around before the remainder of this year’s hatchlings are released into the wild on Oct. 11! 🙌 | Fort Worth Zoo
