Uncle Beazley, Fiberglass dinosaur statue at National Zoological Park, United States.
The life-size triceratops statue stands near Lemur Island, featuring detailed anatomical characteristics and a green exterior designed for outdoor display.
Created by sculptor Louis Paul Jonas in 1967, the statue originated from designs used at the Sinclair Oil Corporation's pavilion at the 1964 New York World's Fair.
The statue takes its name from a character in Oliver Butterworth's 1956 children's book 'The Enormous Egg' and its subsequent NBC television adaptation.
Visitors can find the statue along the main pathways of the National Zoo, with surrounding benches offering rest spots for families.
The statue's garden contains plants that existed during the time of dinosaurs, funded through a donation made in memory of the Herman and Evelyn Strock.
