As the magazine of the Texas Exes, The Alcalde has united alumni and friends of The University of Texas at Austin for nearly 100 years. The Alcalde serves as an intellectual crossroads where UT's luminaries - artists, engineers, executives, musicians, attorneys, journalists, lawmakers, and professors among them - meet bimonthly to exchange ideas. Its pages also offer a place for Texas Exes to swap stories and share memories of Austin and their alma mater. The magazine's unique name is Spanish for "mayor" or "chief magistrate"; the nickname of the governor who signed UT into existence was "The Old Alcalde."

A lo largo de la historia humana, los animales han demostrado ser no solo valientes y confiables compañeros, sino también leales amigos e invaluables miembros de nuestras familias. Su dedicación, respeto y afecto por nosotros, va más allá de lo que imaginamos o siquiera merecemos; ya sea en la forma de altivos mininos, astutos canes o recios caballos, los héroes del reino animal siempre están ahí para nosotros. ¿Pero qué sucede con esos que no comparten el tiempo con nosotros? ¿Qué pasa con esos bravos guardianes de la naturaleza que tanto nos empeñamos en perjudicar? ¿Qué clase de cosas atraviesan sus mentes? ¿Qué piensan de la humanidad? ¿Le temen? ¿La aborrecen? ¿Y cómo saberlo? Solo a través de la observación, la reflexión y la propia imaginación… Animalia presenta ante ti dieciocho relatos de animales: perros, gatos, caballos, burros, monos, arañas, guajolotes e incluso dodos… todos ellos habitan estas páginas, esperando a que te decidas a oír su voz. ¿Estás listo para escuchar los ecos de la naturaleza?
