Schleich Apatosaurus

This herbivore armed with pencil-like teeth spent most of its time grazing and swallowing its food without chewing. Despite its small head and even smaller brain, this was one of the largest land animals ever existing. With a length of 25 metres and hip height of more than three metres, this dinosaur weighed almost forty tonnes. Its tail alone could reach a length of 17 metres! In terms of age, it wasn't rare for an Apatosaurus to live to be a hundred.

Schleich Apatosaurus

Apatosaurus had strong legs to support its extended body. With its pencil-like teeth, this herbivore spent most of its time grazing and swallowing its food whole. Known for having a small head and an even smaller brain, it was still considered to be one of the largest land animals. At ninety feet long and over ten feet tall at the hip, this dinosaur weighed almost forty tons. Its tail alone could reach a length of fifty feet! In terms of age, it would not have been unheard of for an Apatosaurus to celebrate his centennial.
