Last time we looked at oil tank designs featuring pigs<\/a>: largely due to their shape and the rural areas they\u2019re often situated in, it seems that they make a pretty popular decorative choice. However, as this post will show, plenty of other animals have appeared on fuel tanks across the pond. For example:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This tank, found in Johnson County, Arkanas<\/a>, is a rather striking one. One side features a couple of colourful butterflies happily perched on some greenery while the back displays a huge caterpillar. This tank is almost as educational as it is decorative!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This turtle oil tank lives in Mississippi<\/a> and is somewhere between cute and a little bit creepy. It\u2019s certainly an impressive paint job, with somebody clearly having spent a great deal of time on it. Additionally, a smaller turtle has been added to the design by painting the extra bit that sticks out of the top of the tank, making it looks like a baby reptile hitching a ride.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This tank, located by the Cape Fear River near downtown Wilmington<\/a>, is a veritable work of art. Clearly painted by an expert, it depicts a surprisingly regal-looking pelican, a sandy beach complete with breaking waves and blue – if a little cloudy – sky stretching out behind it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This tank, found in Friendship, Wisconsin<\/a>, is based on Disney\u2019s iconic version of the Cheshire Cat (and it\u2019s a pretty good likeness, too).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These tanks, spotted on a Watonga highway<\/a>, don\u2019t depict whole animal, per se, but their spotted paint jobs and four \u2018legs\u2019 do make them look a little like bovines from behind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
