We still have some horny toads, but not nearly as many as there used to be. We loved to catch and play with them when we were kids.
Us kids used to run bare footed all summer and winter in Texas.....Summer...we feared stepping on a horned toad and dried "Texas Stickers"....grass burrs that had up to 1 inch sharp harpoons.....that would bring more tears on the extraction than the insertion...
