Calgary Zoo’s “Dinny”

“Dinny” the dinosaur has long been a favorite attraction at the Prehistoric Park  in the Calgary Zoo,  Canada. The gigantic statue was built in 1935, scaled up by Aarne Koskelainen from a maquette sculpted by Charlie Bell. Here (left) are some postcards reproducing the popular dinosaur statue’s image.
