Commanding the Texas sky millions of years ago, the Quetzalcoatlus had a wingspan of about 36 feet, as wide as a small airplane. The standing Quetzalcoatlus Northropi illustrates how these Pterosaurs folded their wings back to walk on all four limbs. This giant new addition will be at the Witte until September. Come see it today!
This Quetzalcoatlus may be on view for a limited time only – but you can take home your very own Quetzalcoatlus by adopting a Quetzy today! You will receive a plush Quetzy, a personalized certificate of adoption with the name of its new caretaker and a Quetzalcoatlus fact sheet. Adopt a Quetzy for $50!
You may know this animal better as the Ocelot. This spotted cat is larger than a housecat and begins activities at dusk, when they set out for nightly hunts for rodents, rabbits and birds. The Ocelot is critically endangered and less than 1,000 of these majestic cats survive between Texas and Mexico. Conservation of Texas brushland is critical to preserve the Ocelot’s habitat and land stewardship is an important component of the Witte’s mission. Our Texas Wild Gallery showcases the wide variety of ecological zones across Texas and the animals that call those regions home.
