Oko River
Location
CountryGuyana

The Oko River is a river of Guyana, a tributary of the Wenamu River and a part of the middle-Mazaruni.[1]

Mining is a major economic activity in the area and there are medium-scale international operations in the area.[2] Illegal dredging and clear cutting practices associated with mining cause some damage to the Oko area.[3]

In 1999, the bones of a megatherium, an extinct gigantic sloth, were discovered by miners around Omai and the Oko Creek, Cuyuni River.[4] A model of the megatherium was created and put on display at the Guyana National Museum.[5]

There is also a settlement by the name Oko.[6]
