Dinosaur Stan has been an inseparable part of Google's headquarters for decades. Where did he come from and what is the secret of Dinosaur Stan, who protects Google's headquarters? First of all, we have to say that even though Google is one of the few companies in the world that would have no financial problem purchasing a skeleton of a real dinosaur, Stan is actually a replica made of Bronze. If you have ever had the opportunity to see him live, then you will surely tell me that even if you look at the dinosaur from a few centimeters, it is indistinguishable from a real skeleton. Stan owes this to the fact that even though it is a replica, each bone is cast according to the model of real bones of several T-Rex dinosaurs.

Where did Google get Stan? Google acquired its headquarters from a company called Silicon Graphics, which was one of the pioneers of Silicon Valley in the 90s. Silicon Graphics had worked on the first Jurassic Park movie, helping with special effects. That's why they installed a T-Rex skeleton in their headquarters to commemorate the work on the movie. When Google acquired the former Silicon Graphics headquarters as its new headquarters, Sergei Brin and Larry Page looked around. Pagethat the dinosaur would stay here and they started calling it Stan. Today, in addition to being a reminder of the past, Stan serves as a place for employeesancGoogle also serves as a reminder of the future of the company they work for. If they don't innovate enough, they'll end up like Stan, a mere fossil.
I have to admit that Stan is the first thing you notice at Google headquarters and it is definitely an original addition. The company's premises are free to enter and you can walk around, except for the interior of the buildings, of course. You can get as close to the dinosaur as you like and if you don't do anything really stupid, no one will notice you, even if you touch it for a selfie.
