Leapin’ lizards – that ain’t no ordinary lizard!!

If you had to choose just one of Charles R. Knight’s influential and iconic paleoart pieces as his very greatest work, which one would you pick? Out of all Knight’s incredible paintings, the one I personally find most captivating is the 1897 “Leaping Laelaps“, a vivid illustration of two large theropods pouncing upon each other in what could be either play-fighting or serious combat.

In 1971, Water Coombs published a paper titled The Ankylosauridae. In it, he argued that there was only one species of ankylosaurid living during the Campanian age of Late Cretaceous North America and synonymized Anodontosaurus, Dyoplosaurus, and Scolosaurus with Euoplocephalus.

Sniffing silently at the entrance of the small hole in the ground, Mammock decisively detects dinner. She raises her head and glances toward her mate, Mangle, who has located a second hole a dozen metres away. The two bob and jerk their heads in silent argument before Mammock finally snorts in irritation and begins clawing and scraping at the hole, sending dirt and pebbles flying in all directions.

Review and photographs by Funk, edited by Suspsy

This blog is increasingly focused on newer products, which makes sense since the pool of charming retro-dinosaurs to review can only decrease, but there are still notable omissions, so I’ve made it my mission to break the endless combo of Jurassic World toys and hyper realistic figures.

Review: Pachyrhinosaurus (Jurassic World: Chaos Theory Wild Roar, Epic Evolution by Mattel)

There is no shortage of Pachyrhinosaurus toys. As ceratopsian toys go it is only outnumbered by Triceratops and Styracosaurus, which have been more popular for far longer than Pachyrhinosaurus. But here’s the thing, all those Pachyrhinosaurus toys represent the same species, P.

The very first time I laid eyes on the Early Cretaceous ankylosaurian known as Polacanthus was at a birthday party when I was only four or five years old. I can’t rightly recall if it was my own or some other child’s, but I’ll never forget that wrapping paper.

Before we begin the review, I would like to thank the generous folks over at ToyMonster for reaching out and sending me a large selection of Captivz figures. Although I was told that I don’t have to review them all I’m going to do my best to get through them anyway, so prepare yourselves for a lot of Captivz reviews in the coming months!

July 1 is Canada Day, so today we shall be taking a gander at one of the most famous Canadian dinosaurs, Gorgosaurus. I do believe that Gorgosaurus was the second tyrannosaur I ever learned about after Tyrannosaurus rex, courtesy of an illustration in a Dover colouring book that I had when I was but a wee lad.

Review: Giganotosaurus (Jurassic World: Dominion, Hammond Collection by Mattel)

4.1 (51 votes)

Opinions about Jurassic World: Dominion and its Giganotosaurus design aside, if you wanted a decent action figure of this animal upon the film’s release, you were SOL. Mattel only released one Giganotosaurus in the mainline and although it had some cool action features it resembled the animal in the movie about as much as the movie animal resembled the real Giganotosaurus.
