Travel back to the Cretaceous Period with our Safari Ltd. Pteranodon Figurine, an accurate representation of the gigantic flying reptile that once soared over what is now western North America. As part of the extinct pterosaurs group, Pteranodon was not a dinosaur but was closely related. Despite its resemblance to modern bats, there is no known connection.Our Pteranodon toy pays homage to the unique features of this remarkable creature. The model boasts a long, slender, toothless beak and a prominent crest that projects upward and backward, just as it would have appeared in real life 86 million years ago. Scientists believe the size and shape of the crest were used for display during courtship, and it may also have acted as a rudder due to Pteranodon's short tail.Measuring 3 inches long with a commanding 7.25-inch wingspan, this Pteranodon toy is scaled for play and learning. It forms part of the Wild Safari® Prehistoric World collection, allowing young learners to delve into the world of ancient creatures. Constructed from non-toxic, BPA-free, and robust PVC, our Pteranodon Figurine is designed for safe and enduring engagement. Ignite a passion for paleontology and ancient animals in your children with this meticulously crafted Pteranodon toy.
