Landisaurus Roams the Arb

Several years ago, auto mechanic Richard Rivers looked at a bunch of leftover auto parts and saw a dinosaur.

After spending two decades gracing Duanesburg Auto Care, the Landisaurus was donated to the Arboretum, and following some corrective surgery by Landis friend John Scrima, including replacement of some vertebrae and other important parts, the Landisaurus now lurks by the pond behind the Barn.

Please visit him - he's friendly!
