Welcome to Catnapin's

Critter Gallery Index

CatnapinLogo

These pages represent animals that remained still long enough to be photographed. Most are from Taylor County, Texas, where I live.

I am not a biologist. Finding names for these critters is a quest in itself. Many are yet to be identify. To the best of my ability, the information given is correct.

If you wish to comment, correct, add to, or inform, I would be glad to hear from you.

Thanks for looking

Jo Cox
