CHRISTINE, Texas [August 12, 2019] – Thanks to the San Antonio Zoo – and supporting organizations like the San Miguel Electric Cooperative (SMEC) – the Texas horned lizard may be making a comeback in central Texas. A benchmark of this project is now underway: the training of “sniffer dogs” to monitor and detect this beloved lizard in its natural habitat.

Chiron K9 is assisting the San Antonio Zoo’s Texas Horned Lizard Reintroduction Project by training dog/s in field survey techniques to detect and alert to the presence of Texas Horned Lizard scat (poop), eggs, skin cast, and lizards.
The aim is to provide a fast and efficient method of field surveys to increase the accuracy of detection of the presence of Texas Horned Lizards. The canine teams will assist surveys by:
Searching areas and determining if there is an existing Texas Horned Lizard population
Searching areas to monitor released Texas horned Lizards ability to maintain population post-release
To locate specimens for use in research/breeding program
WHY HELP US
The Texas Horned Lizard is the State Reptile, in one generation people have seen a reduction in sightings in communities. Take part in reversing the trend and let’s do our part to get the lizards back into all parts of Texas.
