Ocelot Conservation Day

Join the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Friends of Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge to celebrate Ocelot Conservation Day on March 5th at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, TX! Come meet Leelou, the zoo’s new resident ocelot!

This event will include family-friendly activities, games, and exhibits. There will also be a series of talks from ocelot experts throughout the day from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Gladys Porter Zoo, Defenders of Wildlife, the East Foundation, and the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute.

Defenders of Wildlife, the East Foundation, and the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute are Texan by Nature Conservation Partners.

The event is free, but attendees must pay entry to the zoo to attend. The first 250 kids will receive free entry to the zoo thanks to support from our sponsor Defenders of Wildlife!
