From dinosaurs to ducks, these are just a few of the many small towns and cities in Canada that erected really big, really odd monuments to attract tourists.

1. World’s largest dinosaur, T. Rex: Drumheller, Alta.

2. World’s largest lobster: Shediac, N.B.

3. World’s largest moose, “Mac”: Moose Jaw, Sask.

4. The Big Nickel: Sudbury, Ont.

5. World’s largest mallard duck: Andrew, Alta.

6. World’s largest perogy: Glendon, Alta.

7. World’s largest Adirondack chair: Varney, Ont.

8. The Big Apple: Colborne, Ont.

9. World’s largest Easter egg: Vegreville, Alta.

10. World’s largest fiddle: Sydney, N.S.

Have you ever wondered which cities have the most bars, smokers, absentee workers and people searching for love?

The answers to all those questions, and many more, can be found in the first ever Maclean’s Book of Lists.
