What on earth is this dinosaur-like creature that Blake Shelton seems to have an affinity toward?

According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife, we have some Horny Lizard facts to share.
Horny Lizards like it hot; 80-95°F to be more specific, making Texas and Oklahoma a prime habitat. The Texas Horned Lizard’s coloration acts as camo to defend it from predators, but should a rascal want to take a bite, it’s horns make it less palatable. It can also inflate itself to a much larger size to help act as a secondary defense. Finally, the horned lizard is notorious for its ability to shoot a stream of blood from its eyelid.
Yes, we are still talking about the flat bellied horned lizard.
