After an in-depth analysis of the existing Texas Zoo facilities and site, the zoo’s market, target audience, financial health, and after engaging with the community of Victoria, an exciting vision for the new Texas Zoo was created.
At the heart of the new Texas Zoo is the story of water. It is the story of the interconnectedness of all living things – humans, plants, and animals, because of our reliance on it. Water gives life and all life on our planet requires water.
The new Zoo will be dedicated to conservation education, family engagement, and an immersion-quality experience for all of our guests. From an animal standpoint the exhibits will be built using the most advanced design techniques in our industry.
The facility will be divided into three biomes: North America, South America, and Asia. North America will reflect animals from Texas and the Guadalupe River, South America will encompass the Amazon Basin, and Asia will reflect the tapestry of the rain forest.
Key Species will include Black bear, Cougar, Red wolf, Grey wolf and Ocelot in North America. South America will include Jaguar, Giant River otter, Spectacled bear, Maned wolf, and Jaguarundi. Asia will include Tiger, Clouded leopard, Eagle owl, Pangolin, and Pika. This is just a sampling of the total species dynamic.
Our goal is to build the best small zoological facility in North America that will attract patrons from across our region and allow us to support endangered species.
