Horned lizards raised at San Antonio Zoo found thriving in the wild

The San Antonio Zoo's efforts to save the endangered Texas horned lizard are showing promising results. Researchers have confirmed that several lizards raised at the zoo are thriving in the wild, with one potentially marking the first wild-born offspring from these efforts. This development is significant as it indicates a successful conservation program and offers hope for reversing the decline of this iconic state reptile. The rediscoveries highlight the potential for captive breeding programs to restore populations of endangered species.
