CollectA Amargasaurus Review:
This version of the CollectA Amargasaurus is the smallest of the Amargasaurus toys available (but is priced accordingly). For the price, was are impressed with this figure. It has nice spike rows along its back starting out as individual spikes transitioning into the "sail" type spikes. Muscle definition is good on this figure - skin is very smooth, however - not a lot of texture to the sides. For the price, this is a very good Amargasaurus specimen and would good in your collection.

Amargasaurus Dinosaur Facts:
Amargasaurus is a genus of sauropod dinosaurs (long necks, long tails, relatively small heads, and four thick legs) that lived in what is now Argentina about 125 million years ago. The Amargasaurus is one of the smaller sauropods - measuring only 30 feet in length and weighing an estimated 2-3 tons.

The most distinctive feature of the Amargasaurus was two parallel rows of tall spines down its neck and back. There is a debate among scientists as to whether they were individual spikes or if they were connected by some sort of "skin" to form a "sail". The Amargasaurus spikes may have provided protection from predators or (if covered by skin) a way to dissipate heat) - or a combination of the two functions. The tallest of the Amargasaurus spikes may have reached as high as 24 inches.

The Amargasaurus was likely a slow-moving animal. While its legs were think and one would think strong, the relative shortness of the legs (relative to the size of its body) likely limited the speed at which it could walk.

Our knowledge of the Amargasaurus is limited by the fact that only ONE fossil specimen has been discovered. Found in Argentina in 1984, it provides most the information scientists have inferred about the Amargasaurus.

For the "gamers" out there, the Amagarsaurus is the dinosaur tamed in the game Lost Island and the Amagarsaurus ARK must be tamed to advance in the game.
