RE: OKC - Cool Looking Statues around Downtown OKC - This is Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA
It started as a copycat of the cows in either Dallas or Austin, I can't recall, and they were all buffalo. but the casting wasn't done right and many of them deteriorated. They were all painted differently. I think there are about a dozen of them still around. There's a huge bronze installation now, along the East end of the riverwalk downtown, depicting the landrun in life size. We don't have a lot of public art in OKC, but it's getting better.
That's cool. Fort Wayne Indiana did the same thing with Mastadons. IPFW, Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne University has a school mascot of a Mastadon. So, the city has a number of these Mastadons around town.
