NTAEP January 2019 Meeting & News"Reintroduction of the Texas Horned Lizard" Nathan Rains will give a presentation on his research and work over the last 8-10 years on Texas horned lizard. Nathan has been studying the feasibility of reintroducing Texas horned lizards (aka horny toads) back into areas where they've disappeared. The Texas horned lizard's range and distribution has declined over the past 30 years. Many people remember finding them throughout the DFW area when they were kids. It's also the one reptile most people seem to have a fond relationship with! Nathan has been working hard the last few years with the Fort Worth Zoo in a collaborative effort to restore a population thru translocation and captive breeding. We're still in the "learning" phase but this project has drawn a ton of public interest and exposure. Register Today |
