A giant sculpture of a rhino started going up off 29th Street and Arkins Court in RiNo this week, and Denver Redditors were quick to notice. “I hope it’s looking directly at blucifer idgaf how far apart they are,” one user commented. “Kaiju are territorial apex predators. Blucifer cant be happy about a new titan within his domain,” another answered.
At more than thirty feet tall and 22,000 pounds, the rhino sculpture joins this city’s parade of big beast sculptures. “It’s made of weathered steel with custom-painted, all-weather climbing panels and integrated lighting,” says Laura Newman, vice president of investment and development at Golub & Company. “It will be surrounded by playful details like birdhouses.”
It will be up to this city’s residents to give the rhino a name, too. (“Rhinocifer” just doesn’t quite hit the right notes). The “Name the Rhino” campaign launched May 29, and the public has until June 5 to submit name ideas online.
