I was attracted to them. Saw them in Mall 31, 5970 East 31st Street, Tulsa, OK 74135.
This deer was on sale for $595.
The dolphin was selling for $850
There was no price tag on this tiger. I guess it served as a decoration.

Tulsa Zoo and Living Museum
Saturday, 6 August 2011
Today was Dollar Day at the Tulsa Zoo (6421 East 36th Street North, Tulsa, OK 74115)! Normal admission is $8, car park (weekends only) is $2, train ride is $1.50 one way. Total normal weekend admission & car park would have cost us a total of $18. But today we saved $15 because we only paid $1 each for the 2 of us and the car park was $1. We didn't go on the train ride.
Months before 31 July, the website said free admission on the 1st Saturday of August. At least they were getting in some money today. I am sure it is expensive to maintain a zoo. If they don't have a free or dollar day, we would still visit one day. The zoo is one of my favorite places to visit.
Entrance
Trashcan Man
Eastern diamondback rattlesnake
Tropical American Rain Forest
Fiji Banded Iguana
Komodo dragon
"Charity" - a penguin of the 2002 "Penguins on Parade" - a Tulsa Zoo fundraising project
You can find pictures of other "Penguins on Parade" in another blog - Irene's A Different Kind of Hunting
Lesser spot-nosed Guenon
African penguins
Giraffe, the tallest living animal? There were 3 of them in the enclosure. I guess the tallest was the father, under the shed, while the one in the sun was the mother. The shortest one was busy chewing leaves from a broken branch in a corner.
A Mammoth scene
Asian elephants.
"Maverick" who died in 1993 when he was only 7 years old.
150 cm ball black stone, spinning non-stop on a bed of pressurized water.
Exit!
Mike said "the animals are smart, they are in the cool, the people are stupid, they walk in the heat".
Yes, it was a hot day but not that terrible because there were resting and cooling stations along the tracks. Yes, most animals, that were kept in the open, were resting in the shade and so we didn't get to see them. On the whole, we enjoyed the 3-1/2 hrs there. The Zoo and living museum was great. Beautiful zoo! An interesting way to get your exercise by walking on the 78 acre land. Worth visiting for all their normal fees.

Gilcrease Museum
Tuesday, 2 August 2011
1st Tuesday every month, so it was free admission. We are grateful to save $13. We got there about 3:30pm and so had only 1-1/2 hours to see what is inside the Gilcrease Museum (1400 North Gilcrease Museum Road, Tulsa, OK 74127).
Beautiful paintings and sculptures. We got to see 3 exhibitions:
(1) "Perfectly American: The Art-Union and Its Artists", displayed from July 24 through October 2, 2011.
(2) "America: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of a Nation", displayed from June 26, 2010 through January 2, 2012.
(3) "To Capture the Sun: Gold of Ancient Panama", displayed from June 19, 2011 to January 15, 2012.
Like many museums, photography and videography are not allowed inside.
I am sharing with you 2 pictures of the bronze sculpture called "Sacred Rain Arrow" by Allan Houser, and it is located right in front of the Gilcrease Museum entrance. Wish that archer could shoot the sky and bring rain now to this city and state. It has been hot hot hot.
Nice landscape. I am sure it would be more beautiful in Spring when the flowers are blooming.

Golden Driller
Saturday, 30 July 2011
We were at this place on the 29 May 2011 but didn't take a picture of the 76 feet Golden Driller statue then. Today we finally got a picture of it for remembrance. It stood outside the Tulsa Flea Market (4145 East 21st Street, Tulsa, OK 74114). Can't miss it!
