🦎 On World Lizard Day, we’re shining a spotlight on the magnificent Texas horned lizard. Our dedicated breeding program, in partnership with Texas Parks and Wildlife, is making a significant impact in preserving this remarkable species. Our conservation center was custom-built to provide these lizards with optimal conditions for growth, including specialized nutrition and a secure environment. Since August 2021, we’ve celebrated the hatching of hundreds baby horned lizards, each one contributing to the revival of their population. From the incubation of eggs to the release of the "horny toads" into the wild, our team is there every step of the way. Join us this World Lizard Day by visiting the Zoo.
