The Horned Frog (actually a lizard) has been TCU's mascot
longer than TCU has been the university's name. Four students helped make
the decision in 1897, when AddRan Christian University (renamed TCU in
1902) was located in Waco. Here are some other facts about the horned
frog, one of the country's most distinctive mascots:
The scientific name for this Texas reptile is phrynosoma
cornutum; in Greek, phrynos means "a toad" and soma means "body";
in Latin, cornutus means "horned."
Their primary diet is red harvester ants; they'd like
80 to 100 a day. Unfortunately, red ants are falling victim to insecticides
and to more aggressive fire ants in much of Texas.
The typical Horned Frog is three to five inches long.
Horned Frogs are cold-blooded animals and have an unusual
pineal gland, resembling a "third eye" on the top of the head,
which zoologists believe is part of their system of thermoregulation.
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.
In stories of Native Americans in the Southwest, horned
frogs are depicted as ancient, powerful and respected. Archaeologists
find horned frogs on petroglyphs, pottery and other crafts painted hundreds
of years before Columbus set sail for America. In some parts of Mexico,
folklore persists that these creatures which weep tears of blood are sacred.
