Talk about the best of both worlds! 🎙️
Some people take time off to vacation… others take time off to be part of the world’s biggest global sporting events.
From the Ranger Station at McKinney Falls State Park all the way to announcing at the FIFA World Cup in Mexico City, that’s Customer Service Representative Ranger Jeremiah.
Way to represent Texas State Parks, YEEHAW! 🤠

Shell yeah, it’s World Sea Turtle Day! 🐢
Last week, this little guy washed up at Mustang Island State Park. He may have come from a missed nest or from a private nighttime release at the nearby Padre Island National Seashore.
Thankfully, park rangers acted quickly and worked with our friends at the Texas Sealife Center to safely relocate him and make sure he’s healthy enough to head back to the water.
Help keep sea turtles safe by keeping beaches clean and disposing of fishing line properly. 🤝

Mama mode activated 🦂
Did you know scorpions average a litter of 31 babies and every single one of them insists on a piggyback ride.
This mama is out here carrying a whole crowd like it’s nothing. She’s a Survivor and she absolutely earned that anthem.
