It's an attraction that has helped boost tourism numbers in Drumheller for nearly 25 years.
Tyra the T-Rex stands 82 feet tall in the valley and is widely known as the World's Largest Dinosaur.
"From head to tail is about 151 feet, which is about half the length of a football field," remarked Heather Bitz, executive director of the Drumheller & District Chamber of Commerce.
Tyra also weighs an impressive 145,000 lbs. Since 2000 the chamber has owned and operated the massive dino.
It cost just over $1 million to construct Tyra. According to Bitz, the chamber applies a fresh coat of paint to the dinosaur every five to seven years.
"It's very costly to have it painted. It's around $300,000."
The attraction is also a huge economic driver for the valley as just over 2.7 million visitors have ascended the 106 steps to the top in its nearly 25-year existence.
Bitz told StrathmoreNow that the towering creature has been a great addition to the town's claim as the Dinosaur Capital of the World.
"Through the World's Largest Dinosaur admissions and sales from our gift shop that we have also, we established the World's Largest Dinosaur Legacy Fund back in 2004."
Since then, the chamber has been able to give back over $850,000 into the Drumheller region.
"This funding has supported over 42 non-profit organizations and approximately 44 businesses. The funding also included a $250,000 contribution to the town to construct the Badlands Community Facility," added Bitz.
Bitz said for the 20th anniversary of the dinosaur in 2020 the town had a naming contest that narrowed down the choices to six in a public vote.
"We had over 500 responses and the top choice for the name was Tyra."
Bitz remarked that another interesting fact about the colossal monstrosity is that a total of 12 people can fit into its mouth at one time.
For now, Tyra will continue to stake her claim in Drumheller as the biggest man-made dinosaur in the world.
