Dinny the dinosaur towers 12 metres high with deep cracks and missing patches peppered over its cement body. Dinny is the last remaining structure from the original Natural History Park at the Calgary Zoo. "He's got a great big crack in his tail, he's got some patches missing, he's got cracks all over and he's just looking sad," said Stacey Smith with the Calgary Zoo. In 1937, the original Natural History Park's name changed to the Calgary Zoo and Natural History Park. The surface of Dinny the Dinosaur is pockmarked with holes and has deep cracks which will be addressed with the refurbish.
