Schleich Cryolophosaurus (White Dot)

Meet Antarctica’s Cold-Crested Hunter!

The Schleich Cryolophosaurus brings one of Antarctica’s most remarkable dinosaurs into the playroom. With a colourful crest across its head and an opening mouth filled with dangerous teeth, this prehistoric predator is ready to rule its frozen corner of the dinosaur world.

When Did Cryolophosaurus Live?

Cryolophosaurus lived during the Early Jurassic Period, around 196 to 188 million years ago. It was one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs known from that early stage of the Jurassic.

What Did Cryolophosaurus Eat?

Cryolophosaurus was a carnivore. Its sharp, serrated teeth were suited to biting and tearing meat, and it probably hunted plant-eating dinosaurs and other animals sharing its Antarctic home.

How Big Was Cryolophosaurus?

Cryolophosaurus could grow approximately 6 to 7 metres long and may have weighed around 350 to 500 kilograms. The best-known fossil came from a young animal that had not finished growing, so a fully grown adult may have been even larger.

Where Did Cryolophosaurus Live?

Cryolophosaurus lived in what is now Antarctica. Although Antarctica was closer to the South Pole than it is today, the continent was not buried beneath a permanent sheet of ice. Forests grew there, but the dinosaurs still had to endure cold and dark Antarctic winters.
