Tyrannosaurus Rex on skis chases Jeep Wrangler down snow-covered Ferndale street

Here's something you don't see every day: A T-rex chasing a Jeep down a snowy street in Ferndale.

A video shared on Facebook by Eric Curry shows a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Sport towing a dinosaur on skis down a snow-covered street, while playing the theme song from Jurassic Park. The video has more than a thousand shares and has been viewed almost 100,000 times.

The driver identified himself in the comments as Madison Heights resident Taylor Bowman and said the man in the dinosaur suit was West Bloomfield resident John Boruta. They were visiting a friend on Almont Street in Ferndale and when they decided to film the stunt. Curry was one of many neighbors who also filmed the scene.

"We were just talking about going to a parking and pulling a sled behind the jeep and [Boruta] said he wanted to try skis," said Bowman. "I knew he had the costume and thought it’d be funny to do a Michigan Jurassic Park video. We thought the neighbors would get a kick out of it and it looks like they did!"

While reminiscent of Jeep's 2018 Super Bowl ad featuring Jeff Goldblum and a T-Rex, Bowman said they were inspired by the original Jurassic Park movie in which Goldblum, Sam Neill and Laura Dern are chased by the same dinosaur.
