Jurassic age is upon locals as dinosaur stalks streets at night
2026-09-17
A resident in Kaohsiung’s Cianjhen District filmed a dinosaur with glowing eyes, shaking its head, and baring its sharp teeth, stalking the streets. It wasn’t a real dinosaur of course, but a puppeteer from a performing arts troupe during training. Though fun to look at, the enormous dinosaur costume could obstruct the view of pedestrians and police warned that a fine may be imposed.
Red glowing eyes, a massive body, a dinosaur has suddenly appeared on the street, swaying its head as it walks.
It opened its mouth revealing rows of sharp teeth, and walked towards people. Some were startled, while others found it intriguing.

Commenting on incident
To suddenly see a dinosaur in the street, I thought it was very unique.
On Wednesday evening, members of the public in Kaohsiung’s Cianjhen district took photos of a dinosaur stalking the roads. The dinosaur was actually a prop made by a performing arts troupe during their practice. The video quickly went viral online, with some netizens joking, “Why wasn’t the dinosaur on a leash?”
Mr. Chang
Member of the arts troupe
When training the troupe or during practice, we try to imagine how the dinosaur would walk, to make them walk in a more dinosaur-like fashion.
Although the training was conducted in the night, the size of the dinosaur costume was raising concerns over road safety.
Mr. Chang
Member of the arts troupe
We had people on watch to ensure safety and watch for oncoming traffic.

Such behavior can be in violation of the Road Traffic Management and Penalty Act, which can be punished with a fine of NT$500.
The lifelike dinosaurs have become a unique point, although interesting and fun, it’s important to pay attention to traffic safety to avoid endangering yourself and other road users.

高雄操偶訓練驚見"恐龍趴趴走" 網友笑:怎麼沒有牽繩
2026-09-17
高雄前鎮區有民眾拍下，一隻雙眼發光，搖頭晃腦、露出尖牙的恐龍，竟然在路上趴趴走，儘管這是表演藝術劇團的工作人員，正在進行操偶訓練，不過恐龍裝體積龐大，在馬路行走，視線可能受阻，警方提醒，若是影響道路安全，將會挨罰。
紅色發光的雙眼，偌大的身體，大街上竟然有恐龍出沒，一邊走頭還擺來擺去。
嘴巴張開，露出一排排牙齒，朝著人正面走來，有人嚇一跳，有人覺得很新奇。
[[民眾]]
“我覺得蠻新奇的啊，怎麼我們這裡也有?很好玩。”
[[民眾]]
“馬路上突然有恐龍，覺得還蠻特別的。”
16日晚上，民眾在高雄前鎮區公正路拍下恐龍趴趴走，而這隻恐龍其實是表演藝術劇團製作的道具，當時在練習操偶，影片瞬間在網路引發討論，有網友開玩笑，遛恐龍怎麼沒有牽繩?
[[訪問劇團人員 張先生]]
“在訓練人員的時候，或是我們平常自己在練習的時候，揣摩我們恐龍在走路，更像恐龍的那種姿態。”
雖然是利用夜間進行訓練，但恐龍裝體積龐大，在馬路上走來走去，確實引發安全疑慮。
[[劇團人員 張先生]]
“我們旁邊都會有人在顧著，維安部分，就是注意車輛。”
[[高市警瑞隆派出所副所長 陳錦宗]]
“嬉戲其行為，可能涉及違反道路交通管理處罰條例，可處500元罰鍰。”
逼真的恐龍，成為另類焦點，有趣好玩的同時，還是要注意交通安全，以免造成自己和其他用路人的危險。
