Geoworld Jurassic Hunters Stegosaurus Model
Young paleontologists will love this exciting Stegosaurus Model from the Geoworld Jurassic Hunters Collection. The hand-painted Stegosaurus is a delightful addition to any child's dinosaur collection. The collectible dinosaur comes with a Field Guide filled with scientific facts about this fascinating creature. A large, heavily built, herbivorous quadruped, Stegosaurus had a distinctive and unusual posture, with a heavily rounded back, short forelimbs, head held low to the ground and a stiffened tail held high in the air. Its array of plates and spikes has been the subject of much speculation. The spikes were most likely used for defense, while the plates have also been proposed as a defensive mechanism, as well as having display and thermoregulatory functions. Stegosaurus had a relatively low brain-to-body mass ratio. It had a short neck and small head, meaning it most likely ate low-lying bushes and shrubs. This model measures nearly 6'' x 1-1/2''.
