The Houston Zoo helps save this rare animal, including raising APC chicks each spring in behind-the-scenes Zoo hatching areas and releasing young adults at the Prairie Chicken National Wildlife Refuge.
At this Spotlight on Species you can find out all about this unique Texas bird. We'll have activities for kids, and Boomer the APC mascot will be there to teach prairie chicken dance lessons! You can meet with the keepers who raise the chicks of this endangered bird.
