Earnest It's known by many names, Horny Toad Lizard, Horned Toad, Horned lizard. The Generic name Phrynosoma meaning toad bodied. But it is a reptile and an endangered species I knew none of this the day before yesterday but was schooled by a naturalist on another site and then looked it up.
Now I know, Larry, thanks.

Oh man, it’s been way too many years since I’ve seen one in nature. Used to catch them all the time as a kid. Uh, that was prolly 70+ years ago.

This lizard was not amused with me. I was on the Constellation Trail last evening and this guy crossed my path. The biggest I have seen, he crawled on top of my boot and then scurried off. I was in hot pursuit determined to get a decent shot. He made it very difficult climbing under brush and rocks. I was unable to get him to crack a smile, so we parted company.
Wonderful series, Larry!

Yup, there was clearly attitude there. Love the personality you captured!
