Schleich Dinosaurs - Dunkleosteus

The Dunkleosteus was an armored fish that measured eight to ten meters long, an incredibly large size for the Devonian era. It was among the first underwater titans, along with the Titanichthys. This ancient fish lived 130 - 150 million years before the first dinosaurs. A bold hunter, it could snap at amazing speed and feasted on large sharks. When no other prey was available, it even ate its own kind. Often, fossils of half - digested fish are found near its skeleton. Scientists think this armored fish couldn't chew well and swallowed prey in big chunks. Named after paleontologist David Dunkle, 'osteos' in Greek means 'bone'. The toy has dimensions of 8.5 x 3.5 x 2.6 inches (W x D x H) and is recommended for kids aged 4 - 12.

This Schleich Dunkleosteus toy is a great addition to your child's collection. It can be used for imaginative play, like recreating pre - historic underwater scenes. To use, simply let your child hold it and create stories. When not in use, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any color fading. Avoid dropping it from a high place as it might break. If it gets dirty, you can gently wash it with mild soap and water, then dry it with a soft cloth.
