Welcome to our first blog from Talley Road. While the Leslie Road facility is open to the public, the 102-acres here are not. Therefore, we would like to use this blog to introduce you to the many wonderful animals that call Talley home. There are several different species here including chimpanzees and other non-human primates, tigers, leopards, bears and hoof stock.

I recently took this picture of Lex, our Arctic Fox. He was brought to the WAO after being found outside of an apartment complex here in San Antonio. He is now enjoying his new enclosure where he has room to run and plenty of hollow tree trunks to hide in and under. Foxes also love to dig so we needed to make sure he couldn't dig out. We put mesh on the ground and then covered it up with over a foot of dirt. So now he can dig to his heart's content!
