This Big Thing is recorded as still being here.
A large fiberglass jackalope (a mythical rabbit-antelope hybrid of American folklore) standing on a rooftop near the corner of Camp Bowie Boulevard and Bryant Irvin Road, Fort Worth. Created in 1982 by local artist Nancy Lamb, commissioned by Kaye Burkett-Thomas, owner of the Jackalope Store (a pottery and gardening business) that the creature was built to sit atop. Built with a wooden base, papier-mache and fiberglass exterior. The Jackalope Store closed in 2000; a used car dealership bought the land and demolished the building but kept the statue, which remains a beloved Fort Worth landmark.

Horned Frog sculptures TCU
Fort Worth, Texas
An 8-foot-tall bronze Horned Frog sculpture atop an 8-foot polished pedestal, standing guard outside Texas Christian University's Amon G. Carter Stadium, Fort Worth. Designed by Texas artist Angela de la Vega and installed in 2013 as part of the stadium's renovation, the sculpture depicts TCU's mascot animal. Real Texas horned lizards are only about 4-7 inches long, so this bronze figure -- roughly 15-20 times life-size -- is dramatically oversized regardless of any exact benchmark. Distinct from TCU's separate, older 1984 welded-metal 'Lucky Horned Frog' sculpture between Reed and Sadler Halls, and from a further, smaller frog sculpture between Scharbauer and Reed Halls.
