Brooksville, Florida - Headless Dinosaur Sculpture
Huge unfinished, headless dinosaur sculpture that has been there as long as I can remember. First saw it in 1971. It is just off the side of a county highway, easily visible. There used to be more smaller dino sculptures on the same piece of property; this is the only one left. I think it is not damaged, just never finished -- creator died before completion. Strange!

Crystal River, Florida - The Crystal River Gorilla
A sturdy 12-foot-tall gorilla, certainly worth a pull-over and quick pic. The adjacent sign is gone, so there is no evidence as to what business needed this mascot to greet its customers (The little yellow building behind it looks more like a private residence than the former home of any commerce). This Kong is in good company -- you'll see at least two dinosaurs and a giant shark along the road as you drive south.

Fort Myers, Florida - Pipeosaurus Imaginarium Dinosaur
Came over to get a look at this big guy. He is behind a fence, but we were able to drive in and took several pictures. He appears to be a little fresher looking than in previous photos.

Its outstretched paw seems built for a sit-in-me photo-op, King Kong style.
