The Tulsa Penguins
No, it's not a local sports team. From what I gather, this was a local art project to celebrate the Tulsa Zoo's 75th anniversary in 2002 as well as to raise funds for the zoo's penguin habitat. Supposedly they are fiberglass and were decorated by various artists as part of a competition. I originally heard there were about two dozen of them. I have pictures of 23. One I could not photograph is located in the back yard of a local preacher, per church officials. I have since found several pictures of others I have not seen, so the total number remains a mystery to me. I'll keep scouting!
If you know of a penguin not displayed here, I would much appreciate you emailing me the location so I may add it to my collection. THANKS!
