The Fort Worth Zoo recently released 55 Louisiana Pine Snakes into the Kisatchie National Forest
The Fort Worth Zoo participates in several breeding programs that help maintain a healthy, diverse population of specific species. The Zoo provides hatchlings for release back into its native habitat to establish a self-sustaining population. The hatchlings were released into the Kisatchie National Forest, in a restored and maintained area within its historic range where the species has long been extirpated.
The Louisiana Pine Snake is one of the rarest species of snakes in North America, and the Fort Worth Zoo is one of only four breeding centers for this species,” according to a release. This was the Zoo’s seventh annual release and the most snakes released in one year.
