If you have some extra cash and really want to own a dinosaur, there’s a deal for you in Alberta. Drumheller is looking for someone to take over “Tyra,” an 86-foot-tall fiberglass T. rex that has been a popular tourist attraction since 2000. The Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce plans to end its lease on the property in 2029, putting Tyra’s future in question.

A recent check found the structure is safe and stable; the town also recently spent $310,000 on a fresh paint job and repairs. Millions of people have visited over the years, and 12 guests at a time can climb up into the dinosaur’s mouth for a view. Moving the whole structure, however, is not considered a realistic option, so having a dino in your yard probably won’t work out in this case.
