Schleich Dinosaurs Set - Includes Tyrannosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Triceratops, and Etc.
Towering over other dinosaurs, the terrible T-Rex ran swiftly with long strides. Although it looked menacing, the T-Rex had little use for its short arms which only had two claws and could not reach its mouth. At almost twenty feet high and almost forty feet long, the T-Rex was not a great hunter but a scavenger, eating what other animals or dinosaurs left behind. Even though it had over fifty teeth that were over six inches long, its teeth were not used to chew but to tear since it swallowed its meals in chunks. To have better depth perception in looking for its next meal, the eyes of the T-Rex were both pointed forward so that its vision overlapped. With its head in the treetops, this dinosaur was a cut above the company. Resembling a giraffe, this dinosaur cleared out canopies. With teeth like chisels and a keen sense of smell, this herbivore didn't need help finding food. Unlike most other dinosaurs, Brachiosaurus had longer front legs than back legs which helped him reach his dinner. One of the largest and tallest dinosaurs found, Brachiosaurus could stand fifty feet tall, weighing close to ninety tons. With its three massive horns, few predators would dare attack the Triceratops. Triceratops, although it looked fierce, fed on plants and trees. For this reason, it was hunted by the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The front of its jaw formed a beak, similar to that of a parrot, which it used in cutting vegetation. Triceratops had three horns made of keratin, the same protein that composes fingernails and hair: the horns above its eyes were the longest, extending almost three feet. Since its head was equal to the weight of a small car and approximately one third of its body, its tail was also very heavy to keep its thirty foot long body balanced. Its legs were very strong, similar to an elephant's legs today.
