Dinosaurs walk along Bristol street playing Jurassic Park theme tune

Huge dinosaurs have been spotted waddling around Bristol blaring out the Jurassic Park score.

People watched with baffled amusement as the brightly-coloured creatures took their lockdown exercise in Bedminster this morning (February 6), shuffling along East Street while playing the iconic music.

Miche Watkins, who filmed the video above at about 11am, said she laughed out loud as they passed.

The artist, who lives nearby on North Street, told Bristol Live : "The sun was shining so I decided to abandon painting for once and chase the sun."

She heard the iconic tune as she reached East Street and turned around to see three people dressed in what appears to be inflatable T-Rex costumes.

She added: "They just made us all smile and lifted everyone’s spirits.

"I could hear that one was a woman’s voice and I think they were just having fun, out to make us smile. I don’t think they were collecting for charity, just doing it for the love of it. And how we need that just now."

Sharing the video on Twitter, she added: "Only in Bedminster".

They were seen stopping for a brief dance outside the Old Globe pub as people turned to double-take, with a passing dog barking frantically in their direction.

Miche said the sight "brightened up all our mornings".

As a city home to some wonderfully eccentric sights, this is not the first time in recent months that huge dinosaurs have been spotted in Bristol.

Last June footage was shared on social media showing two dinosaurs - wearing similar costumes to those above - paddle boarding along the river with the same track playing out.
