A local Tex-Mex chain is expanding its presence in San Antonio with a new location.

Officials with the San Antonio Zoo unveiled 12 climbable sculptures, called Pollinators, on Feb. 23, according to a news release.

The gist: The sculptures are located in the Go Wild realm and offer a hands-on activity that educates visitors on different types of pollinators and how they help plants reproduce and support ecosystems. The attraction will also teach visitors how to help pollinators thrive, according to the news release.

Tim Morrow, president and CEO of the San Antonio Zoo, said pollinators are essential to life on our planet, yet many are overlooked.

“This attraction brings their stories to life in a fun, engaging way while inspiring our community to take action to protect the species that sustain our ecosystems,” Morrow said in the release.

The Pollinators attraction will be included in standard zoo admission and is free for all members through April 26.

Over 2.3 million Democrats and nearly 2.2 million Republicans voted in the March 3 election, according to unofficial election results from the secretary of state. Totaling nearly 4.5 million voters, this is “the highest voter turnout for a primary in Texas history,” the secretary of state’s office said.

By the numbers: Nearly one-fourth of Texas’ 18.7 million registered voters participated in the primaries, shattering turnout rates from recent years. Less than one-fifth of registered voters cast ballots in the 2024 presidential and 2022 midterm primaries, state election records show.

Texas’ previous primary turnout record was set in 2008, when 4.2 million voters cast ballots in high-profile presidential primaries.

Zooming in: Election data shows the most people cast votes in the high-profile U.S. Senate races that topped the ticket, with the total numbers of votes steadily decreasing down the ballot in both primaries.

There is “some certainty” that voter enthusiasm will extend to the November midterm election, Republican data analyst Ross Hunt told Community Impact during early voting.
