Living With The Animals
Have you had a close encounter with the local wildlife? If so, you're in the right place. Going through the North Texas area can be an enjoyable walk on the wild side! Native wildlife is abundant in every city in the Metroplex; Southlake's own wildlife is especially diverse and beautiful. However, the good neighbor policy is tough to abide by when humans and their animal friends come into conflict. The balance of our delicate ecosystem depends on us coexisting with wildlife.
