Miranda Lambert‘s birthday was on Nov. 10 — over a week ago — but we can kind of see why it took her so long to get a picture with the present her husband got her.
It’s massive, truly one-of-a-kind and she’ll probably need some help getting it set up in its final spot on her property. It also taught us something we didn’t know about the singer: She’s a fan of dinosaurs!
See a Photo of Miranda Lambert’s Unique Birthday Gift From Brendan McLoughlin
Lambert’s birthday gift from her husband is a statue of a dinosaur that’s about as big as a horse. That’s probably why she posed with it for a photo in what looks like an indoor riding ring.

Lambert says this birthday present is in honor of her love for dinosaurs — a passion that many fans probably didn’t even know she had.
Of course, Lambert’s husband Brendan McLoughlin knows her better than anyone, so he knew that this oversized T-Rex would be a hit with his country superstar wife.
“I named her Patina cause she will live outside,” Lambert explained when she posted the photo. “Obsessed.”
“My fascination with dinos is weird but I don’t care,” the singer goes on to say. “I needed this pet T-Rex.”
It’s a little hard to tell from the photo what Lambert’s birthday dinosaur is made out of, but Patina is gray, black and spiky — and of course, she’s got a mouthful of fearsome dinosaur teeth.
