So big you can sit in his hand. He is worth the drive to see his smile! In 2022 he looks brand new.

The property that the gorilla resides in is for sale, but is still accessible. He has been vandalized with paint but overall okay. He is directly off Highway 19.

This was supposed to represent a Florida Skunk Ape. Behind it was a roadside attraction and store named Hornblowers. It sold taxidermied animals, snake skins, etc. It had a two-headed calf on display that was featured in the attraction's flyer.
