Texas has had a complex history, dating far back before it became a state in 1845. It seems to be a place where Enthusiasm runs rampant, and the populace fans its own flames. There are so many memorable features to the doings in Texas, that YIR found it hard to pinpoint just one to feature.

But here We are. Not all states have a State Dinosaur, but Texas has a State Everything, the list goes on and on. Texas claims the Paluxysaurus, which lived 110 million years ago. That is a Long Time. It was three Very Large Bignesses long, and a Lot of Bignesses tall as well. Very Texas, where Bigger is Better.

Texas is a natural home to Armadillos, as its state small mammal. Nice folks, in Texas.
