CollectA Deluxe Amargasaurus Review:
The CollectA Amargasaurus has a combination of spikes on the back of its neck and the "sail" version down it's tail. Its back of neck spikes are not as rigid as some of the other models - thus they tend to bend and point in multiple directions as opposed to poking straight up. The paint job on it's face has some white "accents" that don't really add to the overall paint scheme.
The CollectA Deluxe Amargasaurus has unique bumps on its sides so it has a relatively unique texture relative to the other models. Overall, this is an acceptable model to add to your collection.

Amargasaurus Dinosaur Facts:
Amargasaurus is a genus of sauropod dinosaurs (long necks, long tails, relatively small heads, and four thick legs) that lived in what is now Argentina about 125 million years ago. The Amargasaurus is one of the smaller sauropods - measuring only 30 feet in length and weighing an estimated 2-3 tons.
The most distinctive feature of the Amargasaurus was two parallel rows of tall spines down its neck and back. There is a debate among scientists as to whether they were individual spikes or if they were connected by some sort of "skin" to form a "sail". The Amargasaurus spikes may have provided protection from predators or (if covered by skin) a way to dissipate heat) - or a combination of the two functions. The tallest of the Amargasaurus spikes may have reached as high as 24 inches.
The Amargasaurus was likely a slow-moving animal. While its legs were think and one would think strong, the relative shortness of the legs (relative to the size of its body) likely limited the speed at which it could walk.
Our knowledge of the Amargasaurus is limited by the fact that only ONE fossil specimen has been discovered. Found in Argentina in 1984, it provides most the information scientists have inferred about the Amargasaurus.
For the "gamers" out there, the Amagarsaurus is the dinosaur tamed in the game Lost Island and the Amagarsaurus ARK must be tamed to advance in the game
