Albert the Bull stands in what is now the Albert the Bull Park and Campground just outside of Audubon, Iowa. The text in RA #2 says that if you push a button Albert will talk to you in his own voice, but I didn't see a button to push when I visited. I could have missed it, though. Talking or not, Albert is truly a sight to behold. And his gonads are truly world-class. I just had to snap a picture of my dog sitting next to Albert's 'nads while seeking refuge from the hot afternoon sun. Albert looks to be in good shape for being 37 years old, though his right flank could use some touch-up paint.
