The Victorian concrete dinosaurs (devised in former times for educational reasons) of Crystal Palace park are reportedly cracking up (https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2020/feb/28/crystal-palaces-lifesize-dinosaurs-added-to-heritage-at-risk-register ) and have been placed on the heritage at risk register. The reasons for the damage are unclear but might be related to earth movements or changes in the water-table.
I must admit to a liking for these, not always totally realistic, constructions but do wish that more attention (and money?) would be directed to actual endangered organisms.
