Discover the WILD SIDE of Texas!

Did you know Texas has a lizard that squirts blood from its eyes? A bird that can sing up to 200 different songs? An armadillo that can swim?

Texas Critters & Creatures is packed with wild ones... alligators lurking in the swamps, prairie dogs popping up across the plains, woodpeckers drumming in the piney woods, and plenty more. Kids will find out who lives where, who eats what (and who eats who!), and exactly where they can go to spot these critters for themselves. Plus, they'll meet the official Texas state animal all-stars, like the Nine-banded Armadillo and the Northern Mockingbird.

Psst, teachers and parents... it's TEKS-aligned for [grades X to X] science, so all this fun officially counts as learning. Just don't tell the kids.
