Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge is on the Texas coast,near to Houston and East Galveston Bay. The 34,000 acre refuge is host to an abundance of wildlife, from alligators to migratory birds to bobcats.

Visitors can see as many as 27 species of ducks, and geese, bittern, yellow rail, purple gallinule, marsh wren, egrets, spoonbills, ibis, teal, and many more birds frequent the refuge.

Alligators are characterized by a wider snout and eyes more dorsally located than crocodiles. they are living fossils which can be traced back 250 million years. Alligators were listed as an endangered species in 1967, but were removed from the endangered species list in 1987, after the U.S. fish and wildlife service  pronounced their recovery.
