Tyra the Dinosaur, a 25-meter Tyrannosaurus rex statue in Drumheller, Alberta, underwent a structural checkup. Engineers found issues with ventilation, heat buildup, sun exposure cracks, and water accumulation. The initial repair bill is $154,000, with ongoing maintenance costs in the hundreds of thousands. Locals and tourists fought to keep Tyra, gathering 25,000 signatures against dismantling plans. The statue has 8 years before major exterior fixes and 10 for an interior refresh, if maintained properly. The town and chamber of commerce are planning for Tyras future.
