*Voted best dinosaur toy figure of 2015 by Prehistoric Time Magazine*

 

Sauropelta was a medium-sized armored dinosaur that lived in North America during the Early Cretaceous, about 108 million years ago. This peaceful plant eater used its protective array of bony armor and spines to defend itself from hungry hunters.

  • Scientific Name: Sauropelta edwardsorum
  • Characteristics: Sauropelta was a medium-sized herbivore that reached about 17 feet long. It had a small beaked head, a long tail, and walked on all fours. It had five fingers and four toes. Most notably it had an impressive covering of armor that consisted of bony plates on the back, hips, and tail, a row of triangular spine-like projections along its flanks, and large pointed spines on its neck.
  • Size and Color: This beautifully detailed figure is 7.25 inches long and 2.5 inches high. It is dusty orange brown to help it blend into its floodplain habitat.
