Unit III: Plants and Animals of Oklahoma

Description

Continuing the theme of understanding the basics of what has shaped Oklahoma history, the plants and animals of Oklahoma have been instrumental in the lives of early and even present-day Oklahomans. As far back as dinosaurs to the sacred buffalo and today’s scissor-tail flycatchers, the animals in the area have helped shape our history.  Blossoming redbud trees and buffalo grass play key roles in the identity of Oklahoma.
