If you guessed Ocelot on yesterday's post, you were correct!

Ocelots are primarily a light in color (almost golden) with white-ish fur on the belly. They have an arrangement of black or brown spots over their body. Ocelots have 2 stripes down their cheeks and bands of black rings on the ends of their tail. How beautiful!

Even though the grizzlies have a pool out in their 4.5 acre habitat, Wendy and Papa Bear love nothing more than a relaxing cool down with the water hose on hot days 🧡💜

Blue and Gold Macaws have a bite force of about 250lbs per square inch of pressure. Watch in this video to how easily Juru breaks open his Walnut. (Volume up to hear the cracking!)

Kobe and Loki enjoying their dinner. Some of their fruit was put inside a rotating puzzle feeder, which they figured out very quickly!

Cute video of Papa Bear captured by our maintenance team! This warm weather is perfect for a swim.

Yesterday was #nationaldonutday🍩 and our Volunteer Coordinator celebrated by bringing donuts for everyone, including our bear residents!

Our Story

The purpose and goals of The Wild Animal Sanctuary-TEXAS (also known as - IEAS) are to provide a permanent sanctuary for exotic animals that have been abused, abandoned, neglected, confiscated, or previously owned by people unwilling or unable to provide for these magnificent beings. Additionally, TWAS-TEXAS educates the public through school programs, tour lectures, support for conservation programs, and public appearances about the value and worth of these sensitive, intelligent and perceptive animals, so that their future, as an important part of our world, is insured. We are committed to strengthening and promoting conservation education and other avenues to foster conservation in which we can participate. Our major goal is to give the resident animals the best quality of life we can give them in captivity through our Enrichment Program, which deals with the well-being of each individual animal and its individual needs. We do this to give each animal the best life it can have in captivity, and by understanding what is required to achieve that goal.
