Another lizard that is more common than I expected here in Osage County is the Texas Horned Lizard, Phrynosoma cornutum. This species, sometimes called a "horney toad" is in decline over much of it's range. Their primary prey is the Red Harvester Ant, Pogonomyrmex barbatus. The Horned Lizard prefers open grassland or pasture.
