Native Brazos Valley wildlife mostly spared this Arctic storm We lost some individual animals from a lot of different species, said Billy Lambert, a biologist for TPWD. But all of our indigenous, native species around here have adapted to these sort of climatic changes.

BRAZOS VALLEY, TX â Last weekâs winter storm has taken the lives of wild animals throughout Texas. Scientists observed that the Brazos Valley was mostly spared from high mortality rates, but state researchers would still like the public s help in collecting data on local animals.
In the wake of winter storm Uri, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department [TPWD] reported a spike in deaths and injuries for animals such as coastal fish, birds, and bats. Thankfully, most of the Brazos Valley has not been a source of winter carnage, as far as biologists can observe.
