3. Why the horned frog? Some say that Horned Frogs was chosen because the football practice field was overrun with the small, spiny lizards. Their primary diet is 80-to-100 red harvester ants per day. The typical Horned Frog is three-to-five inches long. When angered or frightened, Horned Frogs can squirt a fine, four-foot-stream of blood from their eyes. The Horned Frog was named the State Reptile of Texas in 1992.
