Learn About All 8 Official State Animals of Texas

There is so much to learn about the great state of Texas. When they say ‘Everything is Bigger in Texas’ it’s true even when it comes to official state animals because in Texas we can’t just have one, we need eight of them. While people living in other states might not understand we just do things a little different here in the lone star state. 

It was just a little while ago that I learned about the official dog breed of the state of Texas. Being a big fan of animals I was intrigued and wanted to learn more which lead me down a bunch of different rabbit holes on different websites. But then I found A-Z Animals online and they have a bunch of information I never knew including information on the eight official animals of Texas which of course I wanted to share with you.
