The official Arkansas state animal is the white tailed deer, but you'd never know it from flipping through postcard racks in this state. The featured animal is instead a thin, long-legged, wild hog known as the Razorback, celebrated as the mascot of the University of Arkansas athletic teams and as a World War II submarine in Little Rock.
This particular Razorback is hand-made, and stands on someone's lawn outside of a honey store on US 62. It's made of metal, chubby with stunted legs, but fierce looking in a cartoonish way. It appears to be designed for mobility, perhaps to be pulled in parades or used to chase down rival mascots.
