OT Does your state have an offical amphibian?
Illinois has a new reptile and amphibian.
Out of 75,000 votes cast online, the Eastern Tiger Salamander is the new state amphibian, and the Painted Turtle won as state reptile. Lt. Governor Pat Quinn announced the winners today, saying all candidates ran positive campaigns (Ha!, I can't believe the bullfrogs ran a postive campaign, I think they tried to eat all the other competitors). You can find out if your state is on the cutting edge of state mascot adoption here ~ http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0801717.html Here in Washington we don't. But we do have an offical insect (the blue darner dragonfly) and an offical fossil (Columbian mammoth) but, depending on who you talk to, we still don't really have a governor... kathy |
