Geocache Description:


This cache is along a section of the Buffalo Bayou Nature trail where you have a good chance of seeing different types of animals. It is a camoed bison tube so bring your own pen/pencil.

Bayous are habitats for many creatures in nature, all of which are very important to the eco-system as a whole. Within the system mammals, reptiles, and insects all serve a role as both a distributor and consumers. For example, mammals such as raccoons and nutria help spread plant life by dispersing seeds. In addition, mammals also help to control the population of smaller animals, insects and even some reptiles. Like mammals, many reptiles also help to control the insect population. Insects are responsible for the reproduction of many plants. Thus, all animals found in the bayou help to create and maintain the eco-system.

Animals you may see on the trail may include armadillo, nutria, possum, feral hog, whitetail deer, garter snake, cotton mouth, raccoon, stripped skunk, red-eared slider turtles, bullfrog and butterflies. While putting out this cache we saw signs of hogs, deer and coyotes, tell us in the log about what you saw on the trail while grabbing this cache.
