Certainly! A horned frog is actually not a frog but a type of lizard, specifically the Texas horned lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum), known for its spiky appearance and ability to squirt blood from its eyes as a defense mechanism. A horned toad, on the other hand, is another name for the same creature, as it is often mistakenly called a toad due to its toad-like body shape and terrestrial habits. Despite the names, both refer to the same reptile species, which is neither a true frog nor a true toad.
