Rap, I wasn't naming the animals in the STATE, heck Texas has lots of charismatic megafauna in the state. I was mentioning my back yard. Like your wolf. I have coyotes, possums, skunks, snakes, hawks, vultures, turkeys (!), and in the creek a variety of fish hardy enough to endure urban conditions, along with a whole mess of turlers. (What my youngest brother used to call Turtles. Haven't thought of that in years.) And tarantulas.
