“homes to alligators, bobcats, and more”
The San Angelo Nature Center, located at Lake Nasworthy, is an educational center open to the public. The center features many native and exotic animals, including alligators, bobcats, prairie dogs, tortoises, and 85 different species of reptiles, including 22 different species of rattlesnakes. It includes the Spring Creek Wetland, which has 260 acres (110 ha) being developed by the Federal Bureau of Reclamation, including a 7-mile (11 km) trail; its terrain varies from a semiarid environment to a freshwater marsh. It also maintains the one-mile (1.6-km) nature trail off Spillway Road.
I was sad to see the animals that were kept outside had no fans to keep the air moving. The people who worked there were all very kind to the animals, but the center is obviously underfunded. They need money to do something more for the larger animals.
Awesome place! Had a great time! The animals were well treated. This place does good work. I look forward to coming back.
