One of the highlights our our trip last summer to the Pantanal in Brazil was seeing tons of kingfishers (my favorite type of bird). Here is an example:
I have been extremely surprised by seeing and hearing a similar bird on our morning walks in Normotopia. I've been telling Mrs. Angus, "hey that bird looks, sounds and flys like a kingfisher, I wonder what it is"? Turns out WE GOTZ KINGFISHERS IN OKLAHOMIE!! Like this one:
Awesome!
And, while I am pretty sure we don't have jaguars here, we do apparently have mountain lions!
Sweet home Oklahomie, people!

That truly is an awesome bird.
It seems like there's a joke about OK and cougars in here somewhere but I got nothin'.
Mountain lions are indeed cool. When I was a kid growing up in NM, our schools got shut down for a day when someone spotted a prowling mountain lion. Periodic dry spells seemed to push them down from the mountains on occasion.
