polar bears? or giant molars?
"The Elevated Wetlands" is an ecological plastic-based sculpture by artist Noel Harding. They are located in Taylor Creek Park near the Don Valley Parkway. The six sculptures use recycled plastic soil to purify polluted water from the Don River.

Biff: Wow! Nice backpack, is that Roots?

When was this built? I hiked Taylor Creek Park, then Don Valley to downtown in 2002. Never saw this. Too big for me to miss or forget if I ever saw it.

i like the last photo best. it looks like the creatures (whatever they are) are leading the cars through the valley.

They're like giant molars - or like polar bears with their backs & heads shaved! Marvellous!

I've been seeing these molars for years . . . and wondering, how could I build one (much smaller, or course) as a project to do with a group of school children???

I like the solar pannel on the molar... looks like a dentist's nanorobot in action. Whizzzzz, whizzzz, whizzzzz, splash....

I was wondering what they were but no one could tell me. We need more things that will help improve the water quality.

Abandoned Spinal Tap stage props for their Stone'enge number...
Cheri: They look like giant 4-legged PANTS!
