Texas Horned Lizard
Texas state reptile has in some regions presumed to have disappeared and many wildlife organisations were hoping to work together to preserve these guys. In the past radio transmitters could not be placed on hatchlings as they were just too small and if any hatchlings had been released many were presumed to be dead. Thanks to the new harmonic tracking technology, however, researchers were able to follow the 10 hatchlings through the fall. A month into the project, five were still trackable. In early November, one lizard had buried itself for hibernation, three had lost their tags by shedding their skin, and one was still above ground and trackable. Despite a few hard freezes in November, that last lizard was still up and moving as late as last week.
