The fibreglass creature sits outside the home of 72-year-old former HGV driver Jake Pearson, who bought the raptor at a recent auction for £600.

And the pensioner is so pleased to the reaction of the prehistoric pet, he is keen to increase his collection.

He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: ''I want one of those long-necked dinosaurs to go on the drive and then apterodactyl to go on the roof!''
