Hueco Tanks has many #water holding hollows or depressions in the boulders throughout the area. Because of the abundance of water, #wildlife such as #wildboar, #mountainlions, among other mammals are found here, other common animals found are #snakes, and over 200 species of birds. This territory is protected by Texas law for conservation. It's a great place to go #camping and #exploring.
