They were plentiful. We would catch them roll them on their backs and rub their bellies. You had to be careful though because they could shoot blood out of their eyes. I can’t remember if I experienced that phenomenon. I love them!

You can still find them west of the DFW metroplex, at least that’s where I saw one last.

And they are endangered because of humans mostly.

Thx for the pic!
