Huh. Had no idea we have a state lizard.

Hmmm... is there a list of "state items" in totality somewhere?

Beautiful pics @THE JOKER.

Thanks!

So... it's illegal to shoot the state bird, isn't it?

How about killing and/or harvesting the other state stuff?

Btw, if I run into one of those state dinosaurs, all bets are off...

Oklahoma has a bit of fame in the dinosaur area. Here is an article from around the year 2000 that talks of discoveries in Oklahoma, including one in the Kenton area where they pulled out more than 18 tons of dinosaur bones and such.

Oklahoma is Dinosaur Country- Fossils, Footprints, and Digs Found in Many Sections

"The Kenton-area dinosaur quarries were excavated in the 1930s, and more than 18 tons of fossilized prehistoric animal bones have been unearthed. A reassembled apatosaurus skeleton, 85 percent complete and measuring 80 feet long and 40 feet tall, was removed from the site and is featured in the Smithsonian.


These quarries are on private property, but tours can be arranged by contacting the Cimarron County Chamber of Commerce at (580) 544-3344."

Looks like the pelicans we have on Northwood lake, here in Piedmont.

Interesting! Learn something everyday!

Gilmer lake in Texas. The pictures don’t do them justice. They were huge. I’ve never seen a pelican as big as those

Roundup time!
We helped the neighbor move long horns to another pasture and the Angus to the lower pasture the other day.
I wish they didn't do that because we love looking at those longhorns and the Watusi bull with the 5' horns. He can scratch his butt by moving his head.
