A Scout Master was teaching his boy scouts about
survival in the desert.
“What are the three most important things you
should bring with you in case you get lost in the desert?”
he asked. Several hands went up, and many important
things were suggested such as food, matches, etc.
Then one little boy in the back eagerly raised his
hand. “Yes Timmy, what are the three most important
things you would bring with you?” asked the Scout
Master.
Timmy replied: “A compass, a canteen of water, and
a deck of cards.”
“Why’s that Timmy?”
“Well,” answered Timmy, “the compass is to find the
right direction, the water is to prevent dehydration...”
“And what about the deck of cards?” asked the Scout
Master impatiently.
“Well, Sir, as soon as you start playing Solitaire,
someone is bound to come up behind you and say, “Put
that red nine on top of that black ten!”
Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob. So they
loaded up Jack’s minivan and headed north. After driving
for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. So
they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady
who answered he door if they could spend the night.
“I realize it’s terrible weather out there and I have this
huge house all to myself, but I’m recently widowed,” she
explained. “I’m afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay
in my house.”
“Don’t worry,” Jack said. “We’ll be happy to sleep in the
barn. And if the weather breaks, we’ll be gone at first light.”
The lady agreed, and the two men found their way
to the barn and settled in for the night. Come morning,
the weather had cleared, and they got on their way. They
enjoyed a great weekend of skiing.
But about nine months later, Jack got an unexpected
letter from an attorney. It took him a few minutes to figure it
out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney
of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend.
He dropped in on his friend Bob and asked, “Bob, do you
remember that good-looking widow from the farm we
stayed at on our ski holiday up north about 9 months ago?”
“Yes, I do.” said Bob
“Did you, er, happen to get up in the middle of the
night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?”
“Well, um, yes,” Bob said, a little embarrassed about
being found out “I have to admit that I did.”
“And did you happen to use my name instead of telling
her your name?”
Bob’s face turned beet red and he said, “Yeah, look, I’m
sorry, buddy. I’m afraid I did.” “Why do you ask?”
“She just died and left me everything.”

Currently, however, these
lizards are considered
a “Species of Concern”
in Montana due to
insufficient data on
their population and
distribution.
“We have been
conducting surveys in
eastern Montana to try
and determine status and
distribution as well as fill
in data gaps; however,
their elusive nature and
cryptic coloration make
them extremely difficult
to locate,” said Nicole
Hussey, FWP wildlife
biologist in Region 6.
That’s why citizen
observations of these
lizards have proved
helpful in building FWP’s
database on them.
“Oftentimes people
just accidentally come
across one,” Hussey said.
If you do see one,
FWP asks you to record
the location, get GPS
coordinates if possible,
and note the date, number
observed and take a photo
with something in the picture for.
To report a greater short-horned sighting, go
to fwp.mt.gov/conservation/wildlife-management/
greater-short-horned-lizard.
Observations also can be reported to your local
FWP biologist.
