As you explore the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, you’ll find that animals play a starring role in the American West. In fact, some very famous four-legged rodeo legends are buried in the museum’s garden burial grounds . Bonus: hunt for two furry friends that are a bit sneaky . Hint – one is hiding in the Friess Family Playground, the other in Prosperity Junction. PHOTOS PROVIDED BY NATIONAL COWBOY & WESTERN HERITAGE MUSEUM
The OKC Zoo is 120 years old and home to more than 1,000 animals from all over the world. Residing in the Children’s Zoo are the zoo’s oldest animals (see photo on page 10). They can live to be over 100 years old! (Fun fact: a group is called a creep.) Can you find out their names? Next, see if you can locate a pride of very sleepy animals . Perhaps the “ king ” of cat naps , this species sleeps up to 20 hours a day and their roar can be heard from up to 5 miles away.
