A Texas horned lizard, equipped with a tiny tracking device, checks out his surroundings at the Wildlife Expo. Members of the Natural Resources team attach the transmitters to the lizards with temporary adhesive, then release the lizard back into the grasslands on Tinker. The lizards don’t stray far, but their camouflage and small size make locating them a learned feat for researchers. (Air Force photo by April McDonald)
