[Katsuyama City, Fukui Prefecture] A city where you can see dinosaurs!

Whitesaurus

When you think of Fukui, you think of the kingdom of dinosaurs🦕
When you think of dinosaurs, you think of the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum in Katsuyama🦖

To see the Whitesaurus, which is on the way to the entrance of the museum𓏗𓏗

It was raining when I went last time, so I went back🥹✌️
This time the weather was great☀️

This object is a whopping 17m tall𓏗𓏗!
And Whitesaurus is actually the second generation😳
The first Whitesaurus was made about 15 years ago with different materials and was damaged by external factors (direct sunlight, wind, rain, and being pecked by birds lol)
It was repaired once, but its head fell off and it was removed😭

For a while, a White Egg (an egg-shaped monument) was placed in the place where it was removed,
and in 2017 Whitesaurus II reappeared, made of fiber-reinforced plastic that is resistant to rain and wind, and with a steel frame🦖

The crowdfunding apparently raised more than 8.5 million yen from all over the country
It's kind of moving to know the history of Whitesaurus...←

It's also nice that there is a free parking lot◎

I'd like to take my time at the Dinosaur Museum next time🦕⋆
※Pic 6, 7, and 8 are inside the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum, which is beyond Whitesaurus!
