State Mammals ..

[Husky_mom]

weeeeell, our "state" symbol has been the Chihuahua dog, yes the breed, and thats cause thats the name where I live , recently we had a sculpture show where "statues" of chihuahuas where "decorated" in spite of something representative of our state..........i´ll try get some pics for you, if it´s stil there *i hope*

our fruit has to be the apple hence the city of cuauhtemoc where the "manzaneros" (team name) are from, here its the top apple producer adn exporter I guess in Latinamerica and in the top of the world (not sure exact numbers)


and bri.........how come you don´t like raccoons, havent they stolen your heart.........those little robbers.........


OH OH OH I totally forgot our typical food besides CHEESE which I LOVE to death and can´t live without is STEAK, the kind you grill in charcoal (not BBQ), very common here

Glacier - I'm not sure if we have too many Ravens this far south, but we certainly have Crows and they're smart little guys too If you're interested, heres a National Geographic video of some Rooks (i think they're related) coming down en-masse and eating some peoples' campsite

Bri - Raccoons are definately trouble when it comes to garbage (and roof dancing at 2am), but they're cute little guys and they have the most adorable little hands -- they pick up their food and wash it before eating it

But if you've met one personally, you'd understand what I meant :P. The raccoons in East TN are a bit.. stupid..

Bri, some time you have to go to Omaha, Nebraska's Henry Doorly Zoo. It gets my vote for best US zoo. They have a Kingdoms of the Night exhibit and one exhibit within it has about a doesen coons and a dozen young gators and a few snapping turtles and the coons hold there own in there! It really is a revolutionatry exhibit. Quoted from someone else but true, "A Louisiana swamp with racoons boping alligators on the head."
