DIAMOND-BACKED TERRAPIN 
About a dozen kinds of Horned “Toads’' are found 
in the western portions of the United States. Although 
toad-like in the shape of their bodies and in some of 
their habits, they are really lizards. 
The American Chameleon or “Green” Lizard, which 
ranges in this country in the coastal regions from North 
Carolina to the Rio Grande River, has a remarkable 
power of changing the color of its skin through shades 
of brown, gray, and green. In fact, it is said to rival 
or possibly excel the true chameleons of the Old World. 
For treatment of the Snakes see Woodcraft section. 
FISHES 
“It is not all of fishing to fish ” 
The fishes are the lowest of the true vertebrates or 
animals with backbones, and all live in the water. They 
do not have lungs, but breath through gills on the sides 
of the head. They are cold blooded animals; i. e., the 
temperature of the blood is the same as that of the water
