The Texas Quote of the Day shows that Texas was not a good place for horse thieves back in the day:

"When the fleshy side of the green [buffalo] hide is exposed to the sun, the skin becomes as hard as iron. Four years ago a party of Texas cowboys caught a horse thief on the border of the Indian territory. As there was no tree handy on which to hang him, they sewed him up in a green buffalo hide and left it on the plains, under the burning sun. A year afterward the hide was found. The skeleton rattled within it as two dried peas in a pod. It was cut open within seconds, and the remains of the unfortunate fellow were identified by the clothes."

----- account of the death of a horse thief on the Texas plains that appeared on Nov. 23, 1878, in the Cincinnati Enquirer. I can think of a lot of terrible ways to die, but being sewn into a buffalo hide and left to dehydrate on the Texas plains is one of the more unpleasant ones. Eeesh!

Little horned lizards get a new home!

The @sanantoniozoo released 50 zoo-hatched horned lizards on a ranch in Blanco County.

Several Texas zoos, agencies and other partners are working to restore the Texas State Reptile to its historic range.

Deep in West Texas lies an ancient barrier reef, a remnant of the Permian Sea of 250 million years ago.

@GuadalupeMtnsNP was formed by fossilization, uplifting of the earth’s crust, & subsequent erosion. The area was established as a national park on September 30, 1972.
