HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of egrets have been seriously impacted by Hurricane Beryl when it ripped through this NWH neighborhood near Cypress. Houston SPCA’s Wildlife Center of Texas specialists are on the scene now to rescue hundreds of injured and orphaned egrets that have survived. Hundreds more fell out of their nests during the hurricane-force winds and drowned. They will bring the surviving storm victims back to their campus for triage and medical care.

This beautiful subadult female Kemps ridley was found struggling in the surf on Follet’s Island due to a shark interaction.

Our partners at Sea Rim State Park - Texas Parks and Wildlife did an incredible job reporting and supporting the dolphin on the beach until our team arrived. The young male dolphin, estimated at 3 years of age, was transported to our Galveston Rehabilitation and Research Center where our Critical Care Team provided around the clock supportive care. While providing nutritional support and initial treatments, further diagnostics were completed, and it became evident that the dolphin was suffering from an irreversible neurological condition. Taking this into consideration, in the best interest of the dolphin the tough decision was made to humanely euthanize. We couldn’t be more proud of our dedicated team and partners for the extraordinary efforts put forth for this dolphin, they have been working tirelessly, as has been the case with so many in the past. While this one did not bring the type of success we were hoping for, we are thankful that we were able to provide care and prevent further suffering. Thank you to our conservation partners and the community for your support of our organization so that we can provide the highest level of care and continue to be there for the next dolphin in need.

ABOUT THIS PAGEHome to 29 million people, Texas is one of the largest states in the country by both population and land mass. The colloquialism that “everything is bigger in Texas” is fitting, as it encompasses more than 260,000 square miles of terrain that varies from mountain forests to extensive coastline. Texas has more than 800 different habitat types. This greatly diverse terrain gives rise to a tremendous variety of native and endemic wildlife. The list of Texas’s native and introduced animals includes 540 species of birds and 142 species of mammals, amphibians, and other animals. Categories |
