Psittacosaurus' name means parrot lizard that lived in the area of the earth that is now Asia, specifically Mongolia and China. This dinosaur was discovered in the Gobi Desert during the third expedition by the palaeontologists from the American Museum of Natural History, who found a near-complete set of skeletons of this dinosaur to be able to estimate what this dinosaur looked like in its live form. Subsequently, palaeontologists found around 400 skeleton fossils that are more complete and more is known about this dinosaur. This Schleich Dinosaur Psittacosaurus is a replica model of the dinosaur and is reproduced in great detail from the dinosaur illustrations by palaeontologists. This replica model has been crafted for authenticity and finished with hand painting to preserve the dinosaur details. It is made from non-toxic yet durable plastics to ensure the model dinosaur can stand on its own and is sturdy. The Psittacosaurus can grow up to 2m long and weigh around 20kg. Suitable for ages 3 years and up.
