Attwater's Prairie Chicken

In 1996, the San Antonio Zoo joined the
Attwater's Prairie Chicken Recovery Team.
As part of this program, the Zoo has
worked with other zoos and conservation
organizations to protect habitat and to
release North America's most endangered
bird into the wild. Since 1996, the Zoo has
raised 133 Attwater's prairie chickens. Of
those 133 birds, more than 50 have been
released at the National Wildlife Refuge
and the Texas City Prairie Preserve.
