Some visitors to Texas must think that the state animal is a dead armadillo along side the highway.

We have the same problem with Raccoons, skunks and deer. I don't mind the coons and skunks, I even hit a beaver once, but I don't like hitting deer. That is no fun :basic04

An Iowa boy should be able to recognize an opossum when he sees one. Even one that has a yellow stripe down his middle. (-:

Did you know that in South Carolina, the state motto is "we're not North Carolina".

In West Virginia the state motto is "4.5 million people, 6 last names."

I was about to get on Joel's case about that mis-identification.
Maybe they don't have armadillos in Iowa.
We'll just have to chalk it up to that.

You guys got me on that one. The first time I saw it was at work and a co-worker told me it was an armadillo. I have never seen an armadillo so I just assumed he knew. I thought it looked like a possum too.

Oh well, Joel :o

Tho't it sorta looked like that awfully dead thing I pulled out a the swimming pool in the backyard in California! YUCK! That was something else .........

[Glenn Harris]

And they identify it as an armadillo on the website also. It's not. It's an opossum.

This is an armadillo

[Cecil Wallace]

The one you show is alive.
Most people only see a dead one by the side of the highway.
At least, that is the way it is here in Texas.
Personally, I have seen many armadillos in my lifetime because I have lived in a rural setting a good part of my life.
In fact, an armadillo has been digging in our yard almost every night lately.

If you don't go too fast and hit them, you can sometimes catch them waddling [sort of a duck-walk] across the road, tho' perhaps a bit faster than a duck sometimes ................. 'twas rare, but have seen the live kind, C-Dubya. ;)

Of course EVERYONE knows the state bird of Minnesota. I know it's kind of LOONY but the state bird is the Mosquito :cool:

Don't clap, just throw money :basic05

anybody ever been out to hunt snipe?

[Gina Stevenson]

Fell for that one -- almost -- long ago ... while in college. ;)

However, the only thing we really ever went to the woods for was to practice archery. Now, that was fun.

Most rural people and many city folk know about the old practical joke of snipe hunting. A lot of city folk don't know that there really is a bird called a snipe. I have never shot one but I have seen them. They are a lot like a quail.

Tho't I'd heard, since the college joke, that there really was something called a "snipe." Now, 'wonder if it was named that before the joke became popular, or renamed after the fact so there'd "really be one." ;)
