About a third of the money has
been raised or pledged to build a $1
million-plus wildlife studies facility at
Texas A&M capable of housing some
of the exotic animals rounded up last
year from a ranch near Laredo.
Another $800,000 is needed — ur
gently, say University officials — be
fore construction can begin on the
star-shaped center which would be
located on about 20 acres of land be
longing to the veterinary school.
The center sports a special design
to shelter several different varieties
of animals as they undergo studies
aimed at increasing basic knowledge
about how they reproduce.
A 10-foot fence surrounding the
site recently was finished at a cost of
almost $33,000, paid for by private
donations, said veterinary resear
chers heading the project — Drs. J.D.
McCrady, Duane Kramer and
Stephen Seager.
Plans also call for donations to fi
nance a 50-foot-tall aviary within the
fenced area where exotic birds being
studied by A&M researchers could
enjoy considerable free flight, said
Seager.
Organizers hope enough money
can be raised to incorporate a
“teaching museum,” in which new re
search findings quickly could be con
veyed to students in veterinary or
wildlife programs. The museum also
might be open for tours periodically
to increase public support for the
project.
In March 1984, the last of some
400 exotic animals donated to A&M
by the John W. Mecom Jr. family of
Houston were rounded up and trans
ported to new homes in the Hill
Country.
Because of limited facilities in Col
lege Station, A&M agreed to sell most
of the animals to Houston engineer
and exotic species rancher Lou Wa
ters, with the stipulations that the
animals be available to University re
searchers either by visiting the Hill
Country ranches or by bringing them
to College Station when an appropri
ate research facility and holding pens
could be built.

While in the business of raising
funds to finance the wildlife research
center, A&M’s wildlife and exotic
animal program already has estab
lished a project involving Texas white
tail deer.
DRINKS AND GOOD TIMES,
EVERY FRIDAY
Specific goals for the study include
developing bigger, hardier trophy
deer, but general findings from such
tests may oe applicable to increasing
herds of rare or. endangered ante
lope, both in the wild and in zoos or
parks, Seager said.
