Big Bend National Park (BBNP), Tex., covers 801,163 acres (3,242
km2) and was established in 1944 through a transfer of land from
the State of Texas to the United States. The park is located along
a 118-mile (190-km) stretch of the Rio Grande at the United
States-Mexico border. The park is in the Chihuahuan Desert, an
ecosystem with high mountain ranges and basin environments
containing a wide variety of native plants and animals, including
more than 1,200 species of plants, more than 450 species of birds,
56 species of reptiles, and 75 species of mammals. In addition, the
geology of BBNP, which varies widely from high mountains to broad
open lowland basins, also enhances the beauty of the park.
