Texas Wildlife

Hi and thanks for visiting my lens about
Texas wildlife!

I'm making this lens so that I can share some of the photos, videos and experiences that I've had in my exotic wildlife ranch in Texas.

First off, you might be asking why animals like Wildebeest, Scimitar Horned Oryx, Elk, Blackbuck and more came to be in a Texas game ranch.

The fact is, because of deforestation and other factors in their own home countries, more and more animals live on Texas game ranches than in the wild! Some of the animals are even extinct in the wild and are being reintroduced through controlled breeding on wildlife ranches in Texas and other places in the U.S.

There are a bunch of Texas ranches like mine where hundreds of thousands of exotic animals now live because the climate here is comparable to the weather in the native countries of the threatened/exotic animals like:

Axis deer - (Axis axis)

Axis deer by far outnumber any other animal I have on my ranch. They have a chestnut brown coat with white spots and a black stripe runs down their back. Males (not females) have horns, with the average length being 22-27 inches and exceptional lengths being 36-41. Male weights ranch from 145-250 lbs and female weights go from 95-145. They're browsers in all seasons but can switch to browsing if grass quality and/or quantity declines.

My interest is in conservation and wildlife photography, not in hunting the animals for wall mounts or a trophy collection.

I'm making a website to share some pictures, etc. of the exotic animals on my ranch and I invite you to take a look at my website HERE and let me know what you think!
