Newly-renovated Spring Creek Greenway Nature Center adds animals, playground and boardwalk for summer season
was gutted by flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey, the facility is teeming with more wildlife exhibits than ever before with new exhibits of reptiles, amphibians and new animal ambassador Penny the possum.
"Our animal ambassadors have grown exponentially since then," Briscoe said."It's kind of crazy because I tell people that Harvey was a devastation, but it was also a blessing in disguise." Their latest animal ambassador, Penny, is the wildlife center's first mammal. Penny is unable to go back into the wild so was gifted by Friends of Texas Wildlife.The center has pre-existing exhibits of venomous and nonvenomous snakes, reptiles and amphibians with names ranging from Gandalf to Colonel Honey Dijon Mustard III.
"We're constantly redesigning and making habitats and making them look as naturalistic as possible," Boslow said.
