THE TEXAS HORNED
LIZARD IN THE
DESERTBY SHAMISO HATCHARD
THE DESERT BIOME

The hot desert is a biome that features low
 amounts of rain ( less than 400 cm annually),
 and high daytime temperatures- whilst being
 low at night. Deserts have small amounts of
 vegetation but is home to many different
 creatures.
HOW DO WE GET DESERTS?

Hot air rises at the equator- where the land
 receives the greatest amount of the sun’s
 radiation. Deserts are mainly found between
 the latitudes of 50˚ north and 50˚ south: this
 is where the heated air at the equator begins
 to descend. The descending air begins to
 warm up again which evaporates large
 amounts of water from the Earth’s surface.
 The result is the very dry climate.
DISTRIBUTION OF DESERTS
DESCRIPTION OF THE HORNED LIZARD
The Texas Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma
 cornutum) is typically found in the desert of
 southwest USA: in Louisiana, Texas, New
 Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, and parts of
 Northern Mexico.
The horned lizard is the largest and most
 widely distributed of the 14 types of horned
 lizards in Western USA.
Most of the lizards diet is made up of harvester
 ants, termites, beetles and grasshoppers.
ADAPTATIONS TO ITS ENVIRONMENT
    Because it spends most of the day in search for food (as it needs so
      insects to survive), it is very susceptible as prey. This means it
      has many adaptations:
     The lizard buries itself in the sand to escape the extreme heat.
     It has scales that allows dew to collect on its skin to run into their
      mouths- as water is scarce.
     When the animal is threatened, the lizard will shoot streams of
      blood from the corner of its eyes- this confuses their predators.
     Their blood has a chemical in it that makes it taste bad to its
      canine predators such as wolves and coyotes.
     When in trouble, they can puff up its body to make it difficult for it
      to be swallowed.
     It has thick skin accompanies with sharp thorns all over its body.

Texas Horned Lizard

  • 1. THE TEXAS HORNED LIZARD IN THE DESERTBY SHAMISO HATCHARD
  • 2. THE DESERT BIOME The hot desert is a biome that features low amounts of rain ( less than 400 cm annually), and high daytime temperatures- whilst being low at night. Deserts have small amounts of vegetation but is home to many different creatures.
  • 3. HOW DO WE GET DESERTS? Hot air rises at the equator- where the land receives the greatest amount of the sun’s radiation. Deserts are mainly found between the latitudes of 50˚ north and 50˚ south: this is where the heated air at the equator begins to descend. The descending air begins to warm up again which evaporates large amounts of water from the Earth’s surface. The result is the very dry climate.
  • 5. DESCRIPTION OF THE HORNED LIZARD The Texas Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum) is typically found in the desert of southwest USA: in Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, and parts of Northern Mexico. The horned lizard is the largest and most widely distributed of the 14 types of horned lizards in Western USA. Most of the lizards diet is made up of harvester ants, termites, beetles and grasshoppers.
  • 6. ADAPTATIONS TO ITS ENVIRONMENT Because it spends most of the day in search for food (as it needs so insects to survive), it is very susceptible as prey. This means it has many adaptations:  The lizard buries itself in the sand to escape the extreme heat.  It has scales that allows dew to collect on its skin to run into their mouths- as water is scarce.  When the animal is threatened, the lizard will shoot streams of blood from the corner of its eyes- this confuses their predators.  Their blood has a chemical in it that makes it taste bad to its canine predators such as wolves and coyotes.  When in trouble, they can puff up its body to make it difficult for it to be swallowed.  It has thick skin accompanies with sharp thorns all over its body. www.youtube.com/wat =rhantf-qEWI
