A Whole Bunch Of Dinosaurs Are Walking Around Downtown Toronto & It's Absolutely Hilarious

They're migrating. 🦖⁠.

Inflatable dinosaurs in downtown Toronto.

Inflatable dinosaurs in downtown Toronto.

Writer

If you're an avid walker in downtown Toronto, then you ought to have seen a strange thing or two on your strolls that made you question what the heck was going on.

This week, you can spot a whole bunch of dinosaurs strolling down the streets of Toronto in big groups, and it's hilarious.

If you're lucky enough, you may have spotted these inflatable dinosaurs on your walk to work on Thursday morning or even on your stroll through the Eaton Centre on Wednesday because they were spotted at the mall and on University Avenue, Bay Street and more.

Dino attack downtown #toronto #raptors #dinosaurs

A TikTok user walking in the Eaton Centre on Wednesday morning claimed to be from out of town and asked his viewers "if this happens every single day down here."

"They are everywhere," he marvelled as he showed the dinos walking all around the mall.

Just your casual Wednesday morning in Toronto.

A Twitter user captured the raptors while on the TTC on Wednesday at 10:54 a.m., saying, "A bunch of dinos walking around downtown Toronto! My toddler nephews would love this!"

Don't worry, the dinosaurs don't look like they're invading downtown Toronto, despite what this TikToker might believe.

"What happens when dinosaurs are invading downtown Toronto?" the TikTok reads.

Dinosaurs on downtown 🇨🇦 #fyp #toronto #dinosaurs #raptors

In another tweet, they were spotted by Ryerson University at Yonge and Dundas. "A clear sign that spring is here," the tweet reads.

It's unclear whether the dinosaurs have any relation to the Toronto Raptors making it to the playoffs, but many online users seem to believe so.

But whether you're a Raptors fan looking forward to finally going back to Jurassic Park to support the team this weekend or you just have a little hint of Ross Geller's dinosaur enthusiasm in you, this scene in the 6ix should surely have brought a smile to your face.
