What happened to the Horney Toad?

Used to catch them when I was younger living in AZ.

I remember seeing them as a young boy visiting relatives in West Texas. Cute little guys. It seems they are going the way of the honeybee. Sadly you just dont see them much anymore.

We poisoned their food. The Ants. Horned Toads weren't nearly efficient enough at their job, not that we humans are much better.

We had them where I grew up...close to the Texas boarder!

We don't have them in the area.

Horned Lizard(Phrynosoma) are a genus of lizards which are the type genus of the family Phrynosomatidae. The horned lizard is popularly called a "horned toad", "horny toad", or "horned frog", but it is neither a toad nor a frog. The popular names come from the lizard's rounded body and blunt snout, which make it resemble a toad or frog. (Phrynosoma literally means "toad-bodied".) The spines on its back and sides are made from modified scales, whereas the horns on the heads are true horns (i.e. they have a bony core). There are 15 species of horned lizards in North America, eight of which are native to the United States. The largest-bodied and most widely distributed of the U.S. species is the Texas horned lizard

i've often wondered about this too! maybe, when we were kids and had these, we managed to kill them all and now they are extinct. that would suck, wouldn't it?!
