About Me

Hi, I'm the Blue Whale of Catoosa, Oklahoma. I'm 80 feet long! I was built in the early '70s as a surprise anniversary gift. Made of concrete over a welded metal frame, I am considered "one of the world's largest things". There used to be a childrens' zoo here, with boats, lifeguards, and a reptile farm. It all fell into disrepair in the late 1980s, and I was basically abandoned. Fortunately, the citizens of Catoosa cleaned up the park and repainted me in 1997. Once again I'm a popular Route 66 attraction! Come visit me anytime! I'm on the west end of Catoosa, right off Route 66..

My Interests

Fine-a$$ female whales.

I'd like to meet:

Cool people who enjoy picnics by a swimmin' hole. Grab a Sno Cone and kick it with me!

Music:

I don't ever get to listen to music, unless someone brings a radio, or turns up their car stereo. I enjoy the sounds of passing cars and children playing.

Movies:

Well, I've really never seen a movie before.

Television:

I don't need TV. I'm out here enjoying nature.

Books:

Moby Dick.

Heroes:

Harold Thomas and Hugh Davis, who built me as an anniversary gift to Hugh's wife Zelta Davis, a whale lover. Thanks also to the Catoosa Chamber of Commerce and volunteers who restored me in 1997.
