<b>Braconnier’s Horned Lizard</b> (<i>Phrynosoma braconnieri</i>) is a small, desert-dwelling lizard, measuring 3 to 5 inches, recognized for its distinctive horn-like projections and exceptional camouflage. Found in arid regions of the southwestern U.S. and parts of Northern Mexico, it plays a vital ecological role by controlling insect populations and serving as prey for larger predators.
