The residents of Choteau (SHOW-toe), Montana, have such cute pets.
Well, maybe some did many thousand years ago. Some dinosaur bones were found relatively close to the town near the Rockies, and this model reminds people of the connection. It's right on the main road through town, so it's tough to miss. Just don't be scared.
There's a small museum up in the top right of the picture, and a very helpful visitors center is located off the same parking lot. Choteau bills itself as the place where the Rockies meet the plains, and it has a point. This is about 90 miles from Glacier National Park, so it's a good place for a stop along the way. If you like hiking, birding, and other outdoor activities, a longer stay is in order.
One of the natives even told us how to pronounce the town's name. We won't forget now. And neither will David Letterman, who was married here in 2009. Honest.
