Let the countdown begin! 😊💚

We’re a few days away from the Lamar Bruni Vergara Environmental Center reopening!

As we get closer to the big day, we’re introducing some of the residents who call the center home:

🐾 Deimos is a 2-year-old bobcat (Lynx rufus) who arrived at the center as a young cub along with his sister, Nebula, and has been cared for by Laredo College Wildlife Technicians ever since.

He may look wild, but he has some very familiar habits: never says no to pork ribs, loves attention and plays with plush toys much like a domestic cat would.

📍Located at the Ft. McIntosh Campus, the LBVEC is home to native flora and fauna, offering students and our community a closer look at conservation in action.
