Coast Horned Lizards


Sometimes erroneously called "Horny Toads" these critters live in the sandy coastal areas of our community.  Perfectly camouflaged, they lay in wait for their prey, usually ants (native ones), right beneath our feet. If you look closely you can sometimes see these little creatures scurrying about in the dunes and sandy coastal areas. These are just babies.
