"In early 1992, Gene Cockrell took $2,000 dollars worth of concrete and steel and built a dinosaur on a bluff outside his home town of Canadian, Texas. He did it, he said, so that local children heading up US 83 would always know that they were almost home. He also wanted curious travelers to ask about it in town, then be directed to his house to see his yard art. He named the dinosaur "Aud" after Audrey, his wife since 1947.
Aud is 50 feet long, 17 feet tall, and weighs a ton. The road to the top of the bluff is gated."
