Brachiosaurus was one of the tallest long-necked dinosaurs. This ground shaking herbivore occupied North America during the Late Jurassic, about 153 million years ago. This Brachiosaurus toy is much smaller than the real thing, but still has tons of accurate detail.
History: The first partial skeleton of Brachiosaurus was discovered and excavated during expeditions from the Field Columbian Museum to Colorado, USA, in 1900. It was described and named by American paleontologist and expedition leader, Elmer Riggs, in 1903. Riggs gave it the full name Brachiosaurus altithorax, and after the fossil material was prepared, he proceeded to describe it in more detail in 1904. Scientific Name: Brachiosaurus altithorax Characteristics: Brachiosaurus was a long-necked plant eater with a tiny skull relative to the size of its giant body. It had simple peg-like teeth for stripping leaves, a long neck, and a medium-sized tail. Brachiosaurus walked on all fours but its front legs were longer than its hind legs, so it had a backwards-sloping back. Its front feet had a single claw on the thumb, while its strong hind feet had five toes. It probably exceeded 80 feet long. Size: This large Brachiosaurus toy model is 13 inches long and 8 inches high.

Brachiosaurus was a large herbivorous sauropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic Period (155-150 million years ago) in what is now western North America. While the adults were giant and imposing, this Brachiosaurus Baby toy is downright cute!
History: Brachiosaurus is a rare dinosaur, and none of the known skeletons are complete. We knew nothing about the juveniles until recently, when a small skeleton, about 6 feet long, was found in Wyoming. This sounds big, but when you consider that an adult was about 85 feet long, you can see that this would have been a very young animal when it died. The skeleton shows very clearly the short neck and front leg characteristic of the juvenile Brachiosaurus. Scientific Name: Branchiosaurus Characteristics: Brachiosaurus had a small head, long neck and tail, and a huge, barrel-shaped body. Like all sauropod dinosaurs, they walked on all fours, but unique to sauropods, the front legs were longer, not shorter, than the hind legs. This, and the long neck, allowed it to reach far into the forest canopy in search of leafy food. A baby Brachiosaurus looked much like the adult, but curiously had much shorter necks and front legs. Size: This Brachiosaurus Baby toy is 3 inches long and 3 inches high. The Brachiosaurus Baby is part of the Wild Safari Prehistoric World collection All of our products are Non-toxic and BPA free |

Carcharodontosaurus was one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs of all time. This terrifying theropod was named after the great white shark, Carcharodon, and rivalled the mighty T. rex in both size and ferocity. It prowled the river deltas of northern Africa during the Late Cretaceous, 93 million years ago.
History: Carcharodontosaurus fossils are known from Late Cretaceous deposits across Northern Africa. It shared its coastal plain and river delta environments with several other large predatory dinosaurs, including Spinosaurus and Deltadromeus. It is still a mystery how so many different large predators could have lived alongside each other in an environment with limited prey resources. Scientific Name: Carcharodontosaurus saharicus Characteristics: As our Carcharodontosaurus toy shows, Carcharodontosaurus is a giant two-legged carnivore with a large narrow head, jaws filled with sharp blade-like teeth, and a long counterbalancing tail. It has long muscular legs with three-toed feet, short arms with three-fingered hands, and sharp curved claws. Size: This detailed and accurate Carcharodontosaurus toy figure is 8.87 inches long and 4 inches high.

While not as popular as its relative Oviraptor, Citipati is much more well understood by paleontologists. In fact, most artistic depictions of Oviraptor are actually based on Citipati. This ten foot long theropod dinosaur lived during the Late Cretaceous and was very likely covered in feathers.
History: Citipati is a member of the Oviraptoridae family - "Oviraptor" means "Egg Thief", and it was originally believed that these dinosaurs preyed upon the eggs of other animals due to their remains being discovered near nests of eggs presumed to be from other dinosaurs. The discovery of several Citipati skeletons sitting on top of nests full of eggs, however, flipped that entire notion on its head and showed that the animals were not stealing other dino eggs, but raising their own. Scientific Name: Citipati (named after a spirit in the Buddhist faith) Characteristics: This Citipati toy figure is posed in a walking stance with its head turned to the left, possibly alerted to the presence of a predator. With feathers over nearly its entire body, this figure is meticulously sculpted and hand-painted, showing off its striking bold plumage. Size: This Citipati toy measures 7 inches long and just over 4 1/4 inches tall. It's about the size of a large index card.

Native to the warmer waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans, including the Great Barrier Reef and the Red Sea, anemonefish often live at the bottom of shallow waters in reefs and lagoons. Believe it or not, there are thirty different subspecies of anemonefish!
History: Want to know a wild fact - Anemonefish are what's known as a "sequential hermaphrodite," which means that when they're born, their gender is male, but when they mature they become females. Wilder still, if a female is removed from her group for any reason, one of the males will become a female to allow for a continual production of offspring.

The coral reef is an amazing ecosystem, teeming with colorful marine life. It's home to a wide variety of fish, as well as invertebrates and other wonderful creatures. Though they are incredibly diverse, coral reefs are fragile ecosystems, and climate change is negatively affecting reefs around the world, especially the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
History: Coral are tiny invertebrates who form colonies in the ocean. What we typically think of as "coral" is actually the organism's calcium carbonate skeleton. Coral reefs are found in shallow waters, as the coral depend on sunlight and warm temperatures. Coral reefs provide a wide range of habitats for a variety of creatures, and attract invertebrates, fish, reptiles and birds.

The coelacanth is the common name of a large marine fish that is found today near the Comoro Islands off the east coast of Africa. It belongs to an ancient group of fish that is thought to be closely related to the first amphibians. It is sometimes referred to as a 'living fossil,' because until recently it was thought that all members of the group that it belongs have been extinct for 66 million years.
History: In 1938, a museum curator named Marjorie Courtenay Latimer was looking over the daily catch of a local South African fisherman, when she spotted an unusual fish. A closer examination revealed that it was a coelacanth, a lobe-finned fish that everyone thought had gone extinct in the Late Cretaceous Period 66 million years ago. Scientific Name: Latimeria, after Marjorie Courtenay Latimer, who discovered the first specimen of the only living coelacanth. Characteristics: The living coelacanth, Latimeria, belongs to a group called the lobe-finned fish. Unlike practically all living fish that have fins made of simple bony rays and skin, lobe-finned fish have large fins with bones and muscles in them. It is believed that the limbs of the first amphibians evolved from fins like these. Size: This model is 5.5 inches long and 2.5 inches high.

Coelophysis was one of the first agile meat-eating dinosaurs. This relatively small theropod scurried around what is now New Mexico during the Triassic Period, at the dawn of the age of the dinosaurs, 200 million years ago.
History: Coelophysis was first discovered and described in the 1880s based on some partial fossils. It remained poorly known until 1947, when hundreds of complete and near-complete skeletons were discovered at Ghost Ranch, New Mexico, USA. Excavated and studied by the American Museum of Natural History, this 'graveyard' of specimens contained both young and old individuals. Scientific Name: Coelophysis bauri Characteristics: As this Coelophysis toy shows, this dinosaur is a delicately built, two-legged carnivore with slender legs and three-toed feet. It had sharp, serrated teeth and was roughly 10 ft long, from head to tail. Size: This slender Coelophysis toy model is 7.25 inches long and 2.5 inches high. The Coelophysis is part of the Wild Safari Prehistoric World collection All of our products are Non-toxic and BPA free |
