Texas Wild! (2001) at the Fort Worth Zoo | Exhibit Tours Ep. 40

Texas Wild at the Fort Worth Zoo. Filmed March 11 & 13, 2024.

2001’s Texas Wild has held up well over 20 years later and remains one of the Fort Worth Zoo’s top attractions. Your tour through Texas begins in the small, but well-themed Hill Country, before you entire the lively Texas Town, where you can enjoy shops, a restaurant, a shooting range, or explore the Texas Hall of Wonders. The first wild animals await in the High Plains & Prairies in the form of Burrowing Owls, Roadrunners, Deer, and a few others. Things get even more exciting in the Pineywoods and Swamps, home to Alligators, Alligator Snapping Turtles, Otters, and Bears. The Gulf Coast Aviary has vibrant Spoonbills and Ibises, complimented by a handful of other coastline birds. Our travels come to a climax with the Predators of Brush Country, including Mountain Lions and Jaguars.
