Brass Texas Horny Toad Paperweight

Everyone loves horny toads, but for many Texans the fierce-looking yet amiable reptile is only a fond childhood memory. We remember, as children, that they were everywhere and were as "common" as frogs and lizards.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Agency states: "Once common throughout most of the state, the horny toad (or Texas Horned Lizard) has disappeared from many parts of its former range over the past 30 years. Its disappearance has been blamed on many factors, including collection for the pet trade, spread of the red imported fire ant, changes in land use, and environmental contaminants. For the most part, however, the decline of the Texas Horned Lizard has remained a mystery..."

This 4.5" brass paperweight is a replica of a horny toad and is a tribute to this declining species. It has its legs spread out and appears to be looking for its "next meal."

This is a delightful piece of Texas memorabilia and will definitely be a conversation piece for any home or office...
