Bones

The sign says “Museum of Osteology”, which sounds boring.  Love this place!  It’s listed as the favorite place in Oklahoma City on Trip Advisor.  It’s cool and creepy at the same time. Right when you walk in you see a tank with bones and meat-eating bugs crawling on them.  Just like on TV shows!  BTW, it takes a day or two for the bugs to clean off the bones, not the 30 minutes in the TV shows.

The place is actually very educational.  Many of the animals I never heard of or have seen in a zoo.  When you’re only looking at bones, you notice things like claws or beaks that you would never notice when you are at a zoo.  This bat is so delicate.

This picture shows a whale along with a rhino and a hippopotamus.  You can see the cases full of bones around the room on 2 floors.

These monkeys reminded me of Captain Jack Sparrow.


BTW, if this sounds familiar, you may have heard about it on “Dirty Jobs”.  Mike Rowe did a segment on this place.  If you ever have a chance to see this place, it's worth the trip!
