Papo Einiosaurus Dinosaur Toy Figure

Einiosaurus, whose name translates as 'buffalo lizard', was an extinct herbivorous ceratopsian from the Late Cretaceous period. It lived in north-western North America and was a plant-eater, grazing on the vegetation of its landscape.

Einiosaurus is far less familiar than Triceratops, which makes it a good choice for anyone building a dinosaur collection beyond the best-known species. The figure captures the frilled head that defines the animal, and its unusual horn arrangement sets it apart from the more common ceratopsians on display shelves.

A figure like this works on a play mat, on a bookshelf, or as a gift for a young palaeontology fan who wants something a little different from the usual dinosaur toys.
