The Texas deep freeze is causing casualties among humans and animals alike.
After rolling power outages plunged much of the state into darkness early this week, animals at the San Antonio Primarily Primates sanctuary froze to death in the winter weather.
Among the casualties were a chimpanzee, many monkeys, some lemurs and countless birds.
"I never, ever thought my office would turn into a morgue, but it has," Brooke Chavez, executive director of Primarily Primates, told the San Antonio Express-News.
