As always, it was another great Zoo Brew! This year with the addition of wine at every booth, I think they really hit it out of the park...or uh, the zoo.

If you don't mind the drive, one big Texas zoo is letting teachers in free for the rest of the month, and friends that go along can get big discounts too.  Road trip!

The zoo in Lufkin just added a rare baby animal.  And in Tyler, a big expansion is making progress and should be finished this spring. Our zoos in East Texas may not be the biggest in Texas, but they're unique, interesting, and they keep on growing.

If you buzz over to San Antonio you can see this unreal light display in person.

Oh, PETA. You haters of horse-sex, and cannibals of Gillian Anderson’s leg. Whatever we think of The Walking Dead Season 7 and its many questions, the AMC drama is apparently making PETA happy with its “magic” use of CG and animatronics to bring to life that famous tiger from the Season 7 trailer.

What a great way to celebrate Earth Day this year! Ellen Trout Zoo has all the furry, scaled, and feathered reasons why we work to keep our planet clean.

It's been a week since the new baby giraffe was born at the Dallas Zoo, and unlike most babies, this one is still without a name.  You can help change that though.

The Ellen Trout Zoo has seen two Bay Duikers born in the last six weeks.

The last week of October is always a busy one for trick-or-treaters, and parents have to make choices about which organized events to attend; or mix some of those events in while also taking the kids house-to-house for candy in the neighborhood.

Having a job working with animals at a zoo has to be sort of similar to a security guard watching security cameras all day.  Most of the time everything is calm and serene and just fine, and very little happens.  But then there's that one moment when things get tense, and it's time to act! A worker was cornered by a lion at the Dallas Zoo a few days ago, and had to be treated at the hospital after

Earlier this week - on Monday - two rare Louisiana Pine Snakes hatched at the Ellen Trout Zoo. The zoo says on it's website that Louisiana Pine Snakes are a moderately large species of harmless snake related to the Bull and Gopher Snakes but are found only in isolated areas of west central Louisiana and East Texas. They are thought to be one of the rarest snakes in the United States and are being

The assortment of animals at Ellen Trout Zoo continues to grow. So far this summer, the zoo has announced the birth of a baby Louisiana Pine Snake, and an African lion cub. On Wednesday, the latest births were announced. If you're guessing frogs, guess again!
