The White King<\/h2>\n

The White King is the world\u2019s largest polar bear, with a height of 10 feet, 4 inches (3.2m) and with a weight of 2,200 pounds (998 kg). The preserved White King is being displayed at the Commercial Hotel and Casino\u2019s coffee shop at the corner of 4th<\/sup> Street.<\/p>\n

The gigantic stuffed polar bear from the Arctic Circle died in 1957 and was featured in a Rolling Stone story written in 1992 by Hunter S. Thompson called \u201cFear and Loathing in Elko\u201d.<\/p>\n

Guests can take pictures with the glass-encased White King as memorabilia or as a postcard.<\/p>\n

Cow Rustling Boots<\/h2>\n

Back in the 1920s, one small-time thief named Crazy Tex Hazelwood made a pair of ingenious boots so he would not get caught stealing cattle from his neighbors. This pair of \u201cboots\u201d look like slippers attached on top of two cow hooves on each slipper. Whenever he stole cattle, there was no other evidence left behind except for cow hoof prints. Eventually, local authorities tracked down him down and he confessed his crimes. After serving his sentence for a few years he went back to cattle rustling on his release.<\/p>\n

These odd boots are now being displayed at the Northeastern Nevada Museum at 1515 Idaho Street, east of Elko.<\/p>\n

Wanamaker Wildlife Wing<\/h2>\n

Housed in the same museum as Crazy Tex Hazelwood\u2019s Cow Rustling Boots, another peculiar attraction in Elko would be the Wanamaker Wildlife Wing which honors various exotic wildlife species from all around the world.<\/p>\n

In one wing of the Northeastern Nevada Museum, businessman V.H. \u201cJack\u201d Wanamaker\u2019s vast collection of mounted and preserved animals are on display to the public.<\/p>\n
