I myself,do not see the point in including mascot information on this entry. If we do that here we should consider the plethora of "Apples" and "Penguins" teams out there, then we'd have to edit all of those pages. Also, biology/conservation minded research would not lead anyone to this type of info, so why should wiki. Wiki is a great opportunity to progress, not comercialize. -cheers- DanielJL
"The Texas horned lizard is now a protected species and it is illegal to take, possess, transport or sell them without a special permit." The use of the word special doesn't sound very encyclopedic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.77.109.205 ( talk) 20:26, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
Some of the discussion of conservation applies only within the state of Texas. We should also explain the animal is IUCN Least Concern, populous in New Mexico, etc. And clarify differences of legal limitations in Texas versus throughout range. Note, the content is good. Keep it. Just clarify. TCO ( talk) 14:33, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
this article says the animals are docile because they have few natural predators. In truth almost any carnivore big enough will try to eat a horned lizard including but not limited to: feral dogs and cats, bobcats, raccoons (eat juveniles especially), roadrunners, hawks, birds, and snakes. I agree that they seem to be fairly relaxed when held but to state that they have few natural predators is false. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.26.174.203 ( talk) 04:24, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
