Oklahoma
continues to try to supplant Florida as the number one state on this blog. Oklahoma, however has a few natural
disadvantages. Its climate cannot support pythons. It doesn’t have an enormous
swamp like the Everglades surrounded by its largest population centers. It also hasn’t decided to put thousands of houses right next to a nature preserve that is home to protected black bears. Shrewd Florida, shrewd.

| Hopping around Oklahoma |
Oklahoma,
however, has not given up. Someone has
found a wild species that has no place in Oklahoma that is ideally fit for the
topography. And we’re not taking about
the Emu. Texas has already taken care of that.
No, someone in Oklahoma has introduced the kangaroo to Oklahoma and let
it go free. This makes sense. Oklahoma is like a smaller, less pretty,
cooler version of Australia. Open plains, not much there.
There
is video. It is in the link. Andrew Rice, who was hunting goose near
Adair, Oklahoma, got video of the kangaroo hopping around and posted it t o Facebook, where it was picked up by the News
2 Tulsa (from which we’ve linked it).
Perfect
place to put an animal with no natural predators that can hop around to its
heart’s content and multiply. Your move
feral hogs.
