"Biological Crossroads of North America"		Nearly 1,000 Types of Flowering Plants Click Here To Take a Great Photo Tour of the Farm and Animals
People have called the Big Thicket the biological crossroads  of  North  America  because  of  its extraordinary  number  of  species  that  coexist here. Major North American biological influences bump up against each  other  here;  southeastern swamps, eastern  forests,  central  plains,  and  southwest deserts. There  are over  85 tree species,  more than  60 shrubs,  and nearly 1,000 other flowering plants, including 26 ferns and allies, 20 orchids and four of  North  America's  five types of  insect-eating plants.  Nearly 186  kinds   of  birds live  here or migrate  through.  Fifty  reptile species include a small, rarely seen population of alligators. Amphibious frogs and toads abound. Animal life is an important part of Indian Springs. The  Big Thicket is home to an incredible variety including squirrels, rabbits, woodpeckers, bobcat, roadrunners, armadillo, wood ducks, yellow-billed cuckoos  and  other  furry   friends.   Don't  be surprised to find a deer walking through the camp and watch out  for  those raccoons.   As  you can  see  in  the  picture  at   the   right,   your  Christmas presents can't be trusted with them! INDIAN   SPRINGS  is   also  a   licensed rehabilitation center for wild animals, taking in lost "babies" and nursing  them  until  they are ready to be released back into   the  wilderness. In  addition  to the wild  "critters",  you'll have a great  time visiting  with our camp  farm  animals including  cows,  geese, ducks,  chickens, rabbits, pigs and more.
Birdwatcher's "flock" to this area each year to visit the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail with over 600 different bird species.
