Meet Ellie, our August Animal of the Month! 🌟

🎂 Birthday: May 14 (yes, she’s a Ta**us ♉️)
😴 Most likely found napping in her house or under the window
🍯 Favorite treat: honey, honey, honey!

Ellie came to The Texas Zoo after being rescued from life as an illegal pet, where she was kept in a shoebox. With patience and care, she’s learning to feel comfortable in her new home, though she’s still a little shy. 💛
Stop by this month to help us celebrate sweet Ellie!

Tia is July’s Animal of the Month, and she’s a total standout! ✨

This 31-year-old Scorpio loves celery, grapes, and apples, and has a big personality to match. Once a pet, Tia now shines as part of our education team. You might catch her making an appearance at birthday parties, special events, or even shouting for attention from the outdoor aviary! She’s curious, sassy, and absolutely lives for shredding boxes, newspapers, and anything she can get her beak on. We love her, and we know you will too! 💖

Our Story

The Texas Zoo is a 501(c)3 nonprofit zoo, striving to connect people with wildlife from Texas and beyond and be the leading resource for environmental education in Victoria and the surrounding Coastal Bend region. Through authentic learning experiences for broad audiences, The Texas Zoo fosters stewardship and conservation of the natural world.

The Texas Zoo is home to over 100 species of animals, with some native to Texas while others can only be found in remote, exotic locations around the world. A large portion of The Texas Zoo’s collection is comprised of rescue animals that could not be returned to the wild, came from owners that could no longer provide the required care, or even from a future that lead them to the meat market.

The Texas Zoo’s mission is to CONNECT the public to wildlife. Giving them the opportunity to LEARN the importance these animals serve to the environment and humans alike. Inspiring them to PROTECT our animal’s wild counterparts in their native habitat.
