The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior and the Biden administration are facing a lawsuit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for "unlawfully" categorizing the dunes sagebrush lizard as an endangered species.
The 2.5-inch-long lizard lives in only about 4% of the 86,000-square-mile Permian Basin, which covers parts of Texas and New Mexico, as per the Fish and Wildlife Service.
