Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Spinosaurus was a huge meat-eating dinosaur that had a series of spines on its back. Spinosaurus walked on two legs and was about 40-50 feet long and weighed 4 tons or more. It had a large head with sharp, straight, non-serrated teeth in powerful, crocodile-like jaws. This Spinosarus replica is handpainted and comes equipped with a booklet containing scientifc data and a figure of a human on the same scale, to facilitate comparison of the size. Sculpted in close cooperation with the Natural History Museum of Humboldt- University Berlin.

Product Description

Spinosaurus had an unmistakable fan-shaped fin on its back.

This vicious carnivore weighed several tons and could grow to fifty feet in length! Spinosaurus had a mouthful of sharp, straight teeth to help finish dinner. Dinner usually consisted of other dinosaurs or fish. Intelligently designed, the sail on its back performs many functions. For instance, this sail regulated temperature. Collecting heat or dispersing it, temperature is vital in cold-blooded dinosaurs. Also, it served to attract mates.

Fun Facts: The fan-shaped fin could have been six feet tall!

This is a heavy, large dino, with a solid stance and interesting features. The paint job on ours is above average for plastic dinos. Nice colors and shading on the dorsal spines and head. Our 4-yr old likes to repaint her dinosaurs, but when she saw this one, she said "I don't have to paint it!"

My 2 year old is a huge fan of Jurrassic park 3. He loves the spineosarus egypticus and has been waiting impatiently for one. It is awesome. Huge, well painted. It is kind of heavy and hurts when he hits me with it.
