ANIMAL ADOPTION

Support your Museum today by "adopting" one of our Discovery Room's live animals

Although you do not take your adoptee home, your donation (each animal may also have several supporters) will help with their care and feeding, and support the education programs at the Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History.

Introducing visitors to live animals allows us to communicate the value & importance of animals and their struggles to survive. You can help the Museum fulfill its mission to promote science and natural and cultural history education, while encouraging responsible stewardship of all natural and cultural resources.
