Recently introduced and reintroduced Woolly Rhino models are compared by Everything Dinosaur. Mojo Fun recently added a replica of a Woolly Rhinoceros to their prehistoric animal model range. This year (2023) has also seen the return of the Papo Woolly Rhino model. The Papo Woolly Rhino was originally launched in 2013. It was retired, but this year it has made a return to production.

Photographing a Pair of Woolly Rhinos for a Customer

Team members had taken several photographs of these two Coelodonta models. A short YouTube video was also created that showed the two Woolly Rhinos and asked the question which one do you prefer?

An Everything Dinosaur customer requested that we show the two figures beside one another. We were happy to oblige and even posted up a short video on our social media platforms showing the two figures together.

Goose Meets a Dinosaur a Unique Encounter

By Mike|2024-01-02T20:37:45+00:00July 14th, 2023|Categories: Adobe CS5, Animal News Stories, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

A goose meets a dinosaur! Our thanks to dinosaur fan and model collector Jessica who sent into Everything Dinosaur some photographs of her recently acquired Papo Compsognathus dinosaur model. The Compsognathus was photographed being studied by her pet geese.

Three Theropods Together

Ducks and geese are members of the Anseriformes, an ancient Order of birds that probably originated in the Late Cretaceous. Waterfowl would have co-existed alongside non-avian dinosaurs and pterosaurs. The earliest Cretaceous anseriform known to science is Vegavis (V. iaai). Its fossils come from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian faunal stage) of Antarctica. A study published in 2017 postulated that just like modern geese, Vegavis probably honked!

To read a blog post on the Vegavis vocalisation research: Ancient Bird Voice Box Sheds Light on the Voices of Dinosaurs.

Anseriforms, like all birds are descended from theropod dinosaurs.

Jessica emailed Everything Dinosaur stating:

“I just received my latest order today and I thought that you might like to see the Papo Compsognathus making friends with some of his distant relatives…”

Goose Meets a Dinosaur

The geese are seven weeks old. They already resemble adult birds. Their rapid growth is a possible ancestral trait passed on by their ancient non-avian dinosaur ancestors.

The birds seem to be very interested in the Papo Compsognathus figure.

Jessica added:

“I think they are possibly the most curious creatures on Earth!”

The Papo Compsognathus figure was introduced to the Papo “Les Dinosaures” range in 2018. It has proved to be a popular model, especially as it resembles the Compsognathus dinosaurs depicted in the film “The Lost World: Jurassic Park”, which was the second instalment of the “Jurassic Park” franchise.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur thanked Jessica for the photographs and commented:

“What delightful photographs! It is always a pleasure to hear from our customers. We wonder what the Compsognathus thought about it all the attention it was getting from these very distant relatives.”

Encountering a Spectacular Life-size Velociraptor

By Mike|2024-01-02T20:38:08+00:00July 13th, 2023|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products|0 Comments

Whilst on a recent visit to the Manchester Museum team members at Everything Dinosaur took the opportunity to admire the life-size Velociraptor replica on display.

A Life-size Velociraptor Replica on Display

The life-size Velociraptor replica has been on display for several years. It has a shaggy coat of feathers and a long tail. The tail ends in a plume. Whilst speculative, the plume suggests that the tail played a role in visual communication.

The colouration is certainly striking and reflects the markings and plumage seen in some extant birds.

Those famous second toe claws are raised, and this small dinosaur is depicted as if it were running. Perhaps it is chasing down a small lizard or some other unfortunate prey.

The head shows the delicate lower jaw, small teeth and a short tongue located towards the rear of the mouth. The tongue length is also speculative but reflects the views of many palaeontologists.

The eye has been given a vertical pupil.

A Vertical Pupil

The pupil’s function is to regulate the amount of light that enters the eye by constricting (closing) or dilating (opening) the pupil. Vertical pupils are associated with small, ambush hunters such as cats. They help these hunters see in poor light and also assist them in judging the distance between themselves and potential prey.

*Getting to grips with the Beasts of the Mesozoic 1:18 scale Velociraptor mongoliensis model.*

Velociraptor is thought to have been an agile hunter. The model above is a 1:18 scale Velociraptor mongoliensis replica from the Beasts of the Mesozoic range.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We always say hello to the life-size Velociraptor replica. It is a very beautiful figure and helps to demonstrate the actual size of this lithe theropod. The Velociraptor forms part of a display that highlights the link between dinosaurs and birds.”

The Schleich Quetzalcoatlus Video Short

In the Schleich Quetzalcoatlus video short, the figure is shown in a flying pose. It is quickly converted into a pterosaur resting pose. This is a novel design, and we congratulate the development team at Schleich for their innovative approach to flying reptile models.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We have lost track of the number of Quetzalcoatlus figures that Schleich have developed. We think that a Quetzalcoatlus pterosaur has been in production at the company in one form or other for more than fifteen years. The new for 2023 figure is the first Schleich Quetzalcoatlus to have jointed wings.”

The Stunning Suskityrannus hazelae is Illustrated

By Mike|2024-01-02T20:40:19+00:00July 7th, 2023|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal Drawings, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur News and Updates, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

Suskityrannus hazelae illustrated as preparations are made for the arrival of Wave 2 of the Beasts of the Mesozoic tyrannosaur figures. Team members have ensured that this early Late Cretaceous tyrannosauroid has been illustrated as the fact sheet for this new figure is being written.

The Suskityrannus hazelae drawing will be converted into a scale drawing. This illustration will be incorporated into a fact sheet on this small theropod dinosaur.

The next shipment of Beasts of the Mesozoic articulated figures is expected to dock at Felixstowe at the end of July. The shipment will contain other, new Wave 2 theropods such as Proceratosaurus, Qianzhousaurus and Lythronax.

To view the Beasts of the Mesozoic figures available from Everything Dinosaur: Beasts of the Mesozoic Articulated Prehistoric Animal Figures.

Suskityrannus hazelae

Named and described in 2019 (Nesbitt et al), this dinosaur is known from two fossil specimens. The fossils come from the Moreno Hill Formation of the Zuni Basin in New Mexico. The deposits associated with the tyrannosauroid fossils have been dated to around 92 million years ago.

To read the Everything Dinosaur blog post that covered the formal scientific description of S. hazelae: Suskityrannus hazelae A Late Cretaceous Tyrannosauroid from New Mexico.

Although known from fossil material representing juveniles, palaeontologists were able to make some startling conclusions. Suskityrannus hazelae, had the same general body shape and feet adapted to running (arctometatarsalian feet), as the later, much larger tyrannosaurs such as Albertosaurus, Gorgosaurus and Tyrannosaurus rex.

Suskityrannus hazelae Illustrated

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“The Suskityrannus illustration is one of three new drawings that we have commissioned. These drawings will be used in the prehistoric animal fact sheets that we intend to write. Fact sheets are sent out with sales of prehistoric animal and dinosaur figures.”

The New Schleich Quetzalcoatlus Model (2023)

By Mike|2024-03-09T15:53:07+00:00July 5th, 2023|Categories: Adobe CS5, Dinosaur Fans, Everything Dinosaur Products, Main Page, Photos of Everything Dinosaur Products, Press Releases|0 Comments

The new for 2023 Schleich Quetzalcoatlus model has arrived in stock at Everything Dinosaur. This week has been exceptionally busy for Everything Dinosaur team members with new model deliveries from Papo, Mojo Fun and now Schleich.

Still, despite their busy schedule Everything Dinosaur team members manage to keep smiling.

Picture credit: Everything Dinosaur

Schleich Quetzalcoatlus Model

The colourful Schleich Quetzalcoatlus model has an innovative design. There are joints at the shoulders and at the hands which permits the wings to be bent. The figure can be posed in a resting position. Alternatively, the wings can be folded out to give the impression that this flying reptile is airborne,

Schleich has a long history of producing Quetzalcoatlus figures. Quetzalcoatlus featured in the original Schleich “Saurus” model series and also in the smaller Schleich dinosaurs range. This is the first Schleich pterosaur to be produced with articulated wings.

The model has a brightly coloured head. Palaeontologists think that pterosaurs had excellent colour vision.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“The head of the Quetzalcoatlus is a striking combination of crimson and purple. The colour scheme chosen by the design team at Schleich is quite inspired.”

The spokesperson added:

“The novel, folded wings provide plenty of options for creative, imaginative play.”
