Baytown advocate Bert Marshall donated 2 animal mounts to the Eddie V.
Gray Wetlands Center. One is a javelina (collared peccary) and the
other is a pronghorn antelope. Both animals are native to Texas and
will be used as educational tools. BNC Naturalist Crissy Butcher accepts
the two animal mounts.
