The mystery behind the dancing dino has been solved.
Jake Ford, 19, of Rathdrum, contacted The Press to reveal the true identity of the ukulele-playing T-Rex seen dancing and waving to drivers on Sunday. The young man is in his senior year at iSucceed Virtual High School and he really just loves to make people happy.
“My favorite thing in life is to make other people smile and laugh,” he said. “I have a personal goal of making at least one person laugh or smile every day.”
He said he was bored and figured other people are bored too, so why not do something fun to bring joy to others?
“I just wander around being goofy,” he said. “It’s that sense of happiness, it makes me feel happy that I’m able to make other people happy.”
