Schleich Dinosaurs

The Mosasaurus from Schleich Dinosaurs was a large aquatic reptile that lived in the ocean during the Late Cretaceous period. The movable jaw of the Mosasaurus contains many pointy teeth. When hunting prey such as fish or turtles, the dinosaur opened its mouth very wide and bit down powerfully. The shape of its teeth means that it probably didn’t chew, and...

Although the Tyrannosaurus Rex looked quite threatening, it could hardly use its front legs armed with just two claws since they did not even reach his mouth. Nearly seven metres tall and thirteen metres long, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was probably not a very skilled hunter, but rather a scavenger which probably fed on the leavings of other animals.  It had...

Carnotaurus means Meat eating Bull. It’s a theropod carnivorous dinosaur and a member of the Abelisauridae family of dinosaurs, that seem to have colonised the southern continents. The horns were probably used in mating rituals and would have been covered in keratin and longer than on the fossil. The arms are the shortest of any carnivorous dinosaur and were vestigial...

Carcharodontosaurus was one of the largest and most fearsome carnivorous dinosaurs, rivaling even the famous T. rex in size. Named after its sharp, serrated teeth, which resembled those of a great white shark, this predator was a formidable hunter. Roaming the plains of what is now Africa during the mid-Cretaceous period, Carcharodontosaurus was equipped with powerful jaws and a muscular...

The Schleich Plesiosaurus comes with a bendable neck.  The Plesiosaurus was a prehistoric reptile that lived in the sea and fed mainly on fish. It wasn't just its long neck that made this dinosaur stand out, but its swimming style: instead of using its paddle-shaped fins to row, it moved forward by beating them like wings – just like a...

The movable jaw of the Kaprosuchus from Schleich Dinosaurs contains long, protruding teeth that gave it a powerful bite. The Kaprosuchus was named after its teeth and head shape: its name means “boar crocodile.” The animal lived in the Late Cretaceous period, probably primarily on land where it hunted small animals. So far only one skull of the animal has...

The Parasaurolophus was an interesting dinosaur with a strangely shaped head that featured a curved crest. It was a herbivore that weighed around 2.7 tons and could walk on two legs or four.  There has been much debate about the functions of the crest but these days most scientists agree that it helped Parasaurolophus identify male and females, increased hearing...

The woolly mammoth is a close relative of modern elephants. Its hairy coat helped it to keep warm while it foraged for grasses to eat during the end of the ice age, 400,000 to 4,000 years ago. Herds of woolly mammoths had a broad range across northern Europe and Asia, and North America.   Hand painted and highly detailed.  Made of durable...

Smilodon is a genus of the extinct machairodont subfamily of the felids. It is one of the most famous prehistoric mammals and the best known saber-toothed cat.  Sabers stalked prey in packs, led by one alpha male, who directed them all in attacks and ambushes. Sabers were equipped with a number of natural weapons, from retractable claws to their most...

The Brachiosaurus was one of the tallest and largest dinosaurs ever to walk the Earth! With its long neck and towering legs, it could reach treetops that other herbivores couldn't. If Brachiosaurus were alive today and stood beside a four-story building, it might just be able to peek into the top-floor windows! Imagine seeing a gentle giant like that during...

The Stegosaurus is famous for the large, bony plates along its back and its four sharp spikes on its tail, often called the thagomizer. While many illustrations show these plates being used as armor or for defense, some scientists believe they might have also played a role in temperature regulation or even display to attract a mate. Despite its fierce...

The Diplodocus was one of the longest dinosaurs to ever roam the Earth, with its massive body stretching up to 90 feet in length. This gentle giant used its long neck to reach vegetation high up in trees, while its whip-like tail helped maintain balance. Despite its enormous size, the Diplodocus was a peaceful herbivore, spending its days grazing in...

The Velociraptor, a small but fierce dinosaur, is known for its speed, agility, and sharp, curved claws. Despite its relatively small size, it was a skilled predator, hunting in packs and using its intelligence to take down prey much larger than itself. The Velociraptor's keen senses and quick reflexes made it one of the most formidable hunters of the prehistoric...

Megalodon (Big tooth) a huge shark of the Early Miocene to the Pliocene era c. 23-3.6 million years ago that grew to 18 m in length. It possessed over 250 serrated teeth of four different kinds arranged in five rows in its mouth and inhabited waters in Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Australia.  It most commonly occurred in subtropical to...

The Pteranodon was one of the largest pterosaurs in the Cretaceous period. The striking bony crest on the rear of its head provided a counterweight to its long beak. It probably didn’t flap its wings very often, but instead took advantage of the wind to glide through the air – similar to an albatross.  Hand painted and highly detailed.  Made...

The Schleich Giganotosaurus features a moveable lower jaw for interactive play.  The Giganotosaurus looks very similar to the T-rex. Both were dreaded hunters, had very short arms, walked on two legs and had a large skull. However, the Giganotosaurus lived much earlier and was at home in North America, whereas the Tyrannosaurus rex lived in South America.  Hand painted and highly...

With moveable jaw!  Allosaurus, one of the most famous carnivorous dinosaurs, had a unique set of three sharp claws on each hand. Instead of just chomping down on its prey, it's believed that Allosaurus used these claws almost like meat hooks, grabbing onto its prey and then using its powerful jaws to deliver devastating bites. This combination of claws and...

Bajadasaurus was a long-necked dinosaur with an extraordinary feature: it had long, forward-pointing spines on its neck! These spines, some of which were over 2 feet long, might have been covered in skin, forming a sort of sail. While the exact purpose of this sail is a matter of debate, some scientists believe it could have been used for thermoregulation,...

The Schleich Red Tyrannosaurus Rex features an articulated jaw and has been hand-painted in an exclusive Red colour!  Hand painted and highly detailed.  Made of durable vinyl.  Schleich model 72068    Product Dimensions: 28 x 9.5 x 14 cm 

This model features an articulated lower jaw.  Of all animals that ever lived on earth, the Therizinosaurus probably had the longest claws. It used them to dig, grasp, pierce, and peel off bark. It lived towards the end of the dinosaur age, together with other herbivores such as the Kentrosaurus and Pentaceratops.  Hand painted and highly detailed.  Made of durable...

Majungasaurus was a carnivore (meat-eater) that lived in Madagascar during the late Cretaceous period. Majungasaurus was a large predator which walked on its two hind legs. It probably was about 6 to 7 meters long, and weighed over 1 ton. It had short arms, and a wide skull with with a short snout caped by a single rounded horn.  This...

The name Styracosaurus is pronounced: “stih-RAK-uh-SAWR-us”. The Styracosaurus was part of a group of dinosaurs known as ceratopsians.  The name Styracosaurus means 'spiked lizard' and refers to the horns coming from its neck frill as well as the horns on its cheeks and larger horn coming from its nose, which could have been up to 60cm in length. Styracosaurus was...
