What is a "horned toad"?

A horned toad, also known as a horned lizard, is a small reptile with a unique appearance. It has a flattened body, short legs, and distinctive horns on its head. Despite its name, it is not a toad but a lizard. The horned toad is known for its remarkable defense mechanisms, such as puffing up its body and spraying blood from its eyes when threatened. It primarily feeds on ants and other small insects, and it can be found in arid regions of North America.
