If you don't mind the drive, one big Texas zoo is letting teachers in free for the rest of the month, and friends that go along can get big discounts too.  Road trip!

The zoo in Lufkin just added a rare baby animal.  And in Tyler, a big expansion is making progress and should be finished this spring. Our zoos in East Texas may not be the biggest in Texas, but they're unique, interesting, and they keep on growing.

This weekend, the two Texas NFL teams will be trying to punch their tickets to the AFC and NFC championship games.  Saturday afternoon, the Houston Texans will be on the road to take on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, and on Sunday evening, the Dallas Cowboys will play host to the Green Bay Packers.

The moment we have all been waiting for is here! This Saturday at 10 am, Ashur the white lion cub will make his debut with his mother and father.

Ellen Trout Zoo needs your support. Take some time today and help your Zoo bring Gorillas to Lufkin. If you want this purposed exhibit to happen, here's what you do.

It's official! 1,000 people in East Texas have spoken, and now the beautiful white lion cub has a name. Want to meet him in person?

Earth Day is all about learning to live in greener ways, and there are several ways to do it in Lufkin. The Ellen Trout Zoo is getting into Earth Day too.
