Thank you Caldey for sending us a photograph of your CollectA Deluxe Edmontosaurus feeding in the garden.  The dinosaur looks very much at home munching on some conifers.  Palaeontologists know from hadrosaur stomach contents that these Late Cretaceous herbivores did feed on conifers.  It is a delightfully composed photograph.  The viewing angle gives the impression that this is a large dinosaur. After all, Edmontosaurus is one of the biggest hadrosaurs known to science.

The CollectA Deluxe Edmontosaurus Feeding

This duck-billed dinosaur figure was introduced in 2022.  It is popular with dinosaur fans and model collectors.  Moreover, the model reflects what was known about Edmontosaurus and its integument at the time of production. For example, this dinosaur had large, irregular scales around its neck.  The CollectA Deluxe Edmontosaurus model has these scales, and they can be seen in Caldey’s photograph.  The subtle colours of the dinosaur model have been captured by the photographer’s lens.

The image is sharp and the figure is in focus.  The placing of the piece of conifer into the mouth is clever (and authentic).

Mike from Everything Dinosaur thanked Caldey for her photograph and commented:

“We always enjoy seeing how our customers use their imagination, and this photograph certainly made us smile. It is a wonderfully composed picture, with the CollectA Deluxe Edmontosaurus looking perfectly at home browsing amongst the conifers. The photographer has shown real creativity and a keen eye for detail. We are delighted Caldey chose to share their work with us, and we hope it inspires other collectors to get outdoors and create their own prehistoric scenes.”
