Wyoming Wildlife Tug of War

The Drinkery
410 S Ash St, Casper, WY 82601

Overview

The mural on the corner of Midwest Ave and Ash St is a playful take on Wyoming’s incredible wildlife. A moose, grizzly bear, and mountain lion are desperately losing a tug of war contest against a western jackrabbit. There’s enough empty rope between the animals that onlookers can join in and take a picture of themselves in the action.
