It’s an actual snow sculpture. The T-Rex is in full color and looks like an inflatable standing in the snow, but Minnesota resident Paul Larcom poured his time and effort into creating the dinosaur artwork for three weeks. According to Larcom, he was inspired by a previous snow sculpture he did of a Tauntaun from Star Wars. “Everyone got real excited because they thought it was a dinosaur. I think they were a little disappointed when they saw it wasn't," he said.
His work was posted on Reddit, gaining the attention of the Internet, and landed the post on the front page of the website. Larcom was surprised to see his work on Reddit. "I didn't know it was going to take off like it did. I found out it made it to Reddit when my aunt and a friend of mine contacted me on Tuesday and told me about it," he shared.
