CollectA Prehistoric Life Psittacosaurus Toy Dinosaur Figure - Authentic Hand Painted & Paleontologist Approved Model

CollectA's replica of the Psittacosaurus is detailed and lifelike down to the quill-like structures on its tail. The Psittacosaurus lived in Asia between 123 - 100 million years ago. Fossil remains of over 400 Psittacosaurus individuals have been found to date. This dinosaur walked on its hind legs and had a beak-like mouth in its large head. The quill-like structures on the tail of the Psittacosaurus shown in this figure appeared on at least one species of this dinosaur. The Psittacosaurus was a small dinosaur, reaching up to 6.5 feet in length and weighed up to 44 pounds. The Psittacosaurus had sharp teeth to cut through tough plants, but did not chew. Instead, like today's birds, the Psittacosaurus swallowed stones to help with digestion. This beautifully sculpted, collectible figure from our Prehistoric Life Collection measures 4.3''L x 2''H.
