Comanche County authorities are looking for a thief who stole several valuable pelts from a display at the county fair in Lawton.
The fur pelts, skins and hides were taken from a Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge exhibit and include a seven-foot long jaguar pelt worth $20,000.
Also taken were a sea otter hide, a cobra belt, a Nile River crocodile purse, a buffalo hide and beaver and badger hides.
Investigators say they're not sure how the thief managed to get the items past security at the fairgrounds.
