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!

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.

The DeBary Green Dinosaur migrated north from the closed Clayton and Sons Auto Salvage to the DeBary Community Waterpark. I was sad when I saw that it was gone and glad that he has found a new home!

Couldn't get a clear view of the dinosaur, but he looked very festive.

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