Greater Short-horned Lizard
The short-horned lizard (Phrynosoma hernandesi) is a small lizard that occurs in North America. Like other horned lizards, it is often wrongly called the "Horned Toad" or "Horny Toad," but it is not a toad at all. It is a reptile, not an amphibian. It is one of five species of lizards in Canada. The species name hernandesi honors Francisco Hernández Médico who wrote an early account in 1651 of a Horned Lizard.
