The Attwater’s prairie chicken courtship dance is called “booming.” 🤯 💥 Here, let’s break down the steps of this endangered dance.

It's spring, and Attwater's prairie chickens are dancing like no one's watching 🐔 💃🏻 During mating season, the critically endangered Texas natives make a "booming" sound by inflating the air sacs on their necks, which can be heard 1/2 mile away, according to Texas Parks & Wildlife. The Attwater’s prairie chicken population has significantly declined due to habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, overhunting and red imported fire ants, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service says. Today, the imperiled b

An Attwater's prairie chicken's dating life depends on dancing. 🕺 Fossil Rim Wildlife Center has between 20-24 breeding pairs each year. Adults are housed in pens where birds are encouraged to see their neighbors. Starting in late January through May, male APC will perform their breeding displays for the females. Typically, in the wild, males will gather early in the morning in large groups called leks. In captivity, our males are able to see and hear their neighbors to simulate this environmen

The Attwater's Prairie Chicken (APC) is a grouse species native to Texas that is critically endangered due largely to habitat loss of the native coastal prairie in the early 1900s. Knowing these birds are a strong indicator of the health of the prairie biome in Texas, Houston Zoo joined the recovery effort for the Attwater’s Prairie Chicken (APC) in 1994, using Zoo grounds to breed and raise chicks by hand. In 2005, Houston Zoo forged a partnership with NASA, who offered natural prairie on their
