	I have seen a few in the far west of Texas, however those may have been
planted specimens.   It has been a while since I've been over that
way.   And really, I just couldn't remember for sure which was the
correct name of the area... I'm in college right now and haven't had the
luxury of time that I used to have to read up on all the subjects that
I'm interested in.   Seems I caught you by surprise, you didn't catch it
on the first reading... 8-)
	Artists' depictions of reality in my experience have often had little
to do with reality (No offense to any artists out there, of course) so
I'm not surprised by the translocation of species in tourist
paraphernalia which were made solely for profit, not for biological
accuracy.
