Bats, birds and other Texas wildlife perished during the recent freeze - but not so the invasive and destructful Zebra Mussels. Texas Parks and Wildlife Scientist Monica McGarrity says they originated in a very cold climate, are found in the Great Lakes and are hearty. They are prolific. Each female can produce over a million eggs in a single year. There s really nothing that can be done about them once they are in a lake.
McGarrity says they cause harm to docks, boats, and pipes- and that includes our infrastructure. She says Tx Parks and Wildlife has worked for years to eradicate them completely. Preventing them from moving into a lake on another boat by cleaning and drying the boat is critical.
