The Dinogorgon lived over 250 million years ago where South Africa & Tanzania now lie. The little carnivore had a very powerful jaw & a small but thick & massive skull 30-40 cm in length. It was named after the gorgons, the dreaded creatures from Greek mythology. Schleich manufacture amazingly wonderful accurate models of all sorts of animals, including this Dinogorgon model. This Schleich Dinogorgons has been beautifully hand painted to give wonderful role play to children & also makes a great collectors item for the nature enthusiast.
