Papo Iguanodon is a realistic dinosaur figure featuring a movable jaw, detailed reptilian skin texture, and the distinctive thumb spike that made this famous herbivore unique.
The Papo Prehistoric Iguanodon measures: 9.6" L x 2.6" W x 4.1" H
The Papo Prehistoric Iguanodon features a robust, muscular body with a dynamic pose that suggests movement and alertness. The carefully sculpted reptilian scales, natural earth-tone coloring, and subtle shading create a lifelike appearance.
The figure includes a movable jaw that opens and closes, while the prominent thumb spike, sturdy hind legs, and thick balancing tail accurately capture the anatomy of one of the earliest dinosaurs recognized by science.
Iguanodon was one of the first dinosaurs to be identified by scientists after its discovery in the early 19th century. Its name means "iguana tooth" because its teeth resembled those of modern iguanas. It lived during the Early Cretaceous Period about 125 million years ago, and fossils have been discovered throughout Europe and parts of North America.
Iguanodon was a large herbivore that grew up to 33 feet long and weighed as much as five tons. It could move on both two and four legs, allowing it to feed on vegetation at different heights. Its distinctive thumb spike may have been used for defense against predators or for gathering food.
