Tamiya 1/35 Scale Brachiosaurus Dinosaur Diorama Model Kit

Ages 10 and over.

Paleontologists have recovered fossils of the Brachiosaurus that
lived in large herds during the late theorized Jurassic period. It is now
believed that this was a terrestrial dinosaur with a behavior pattern similar
to modern elephants. Their tremendous weight bearing hind legs probably
allowed the Brachiosaurus to rear up and feed on leaves of tall trees. Their
enourmous appetite may have forced them to travel long distances to seek fresh
plant life for food. It is believed that their walking speed was about the
same as today's modern man. The reason for the extinction of these peaceful
giants is still shrouded in mystery.

FEATURES: Plastic parts molded in tan, gray and brown.
Thorough research for a highly accurate model, including the scale,
pose, and lifelike skin appearance of the dinosaur.

Archaeopteryx bird included with kit.
Brown diorama base has a fairly rocky, realistic surface, a small dry
river bed that holds the two dinosaurs and the bird.

position.
Lower jaw can be set in an open or closed position.
Also includes a human figure for a represented size comparison.
