Therizinosaurus (Papo)

The Papo Therizinosaurus figure is standing tall on two legs. This figure showcases the creature's most notable trait: its extraordinarily long, scythe-like claws. The claws are intricately sculpted, emphasizing their sharpness and exaggerated length, which could reach up to three feet in the real dinosaur.

The body is covered in textured skin and the color palette consists of earthy tones, with subtle shading to highlight the musculature and bone structure. Its elongated neck and small head, captures the odd combination of a massive herbivore with predator-like claws. The expressive face, with a beak-like mouth and small eyes, adds to the prehistoric allure of the figure. This Therizinosaurus figure is both educational and captivating.

The Papo Therizinosaurus features a moveable jaw!

Prehistoric Therizinosaurus measures approximately in inches:
8.3 L x 5.7 W x 8.4 H.

Therizinosaurus meaning 'scythe lizard' is a genus of very large therizinosaurid that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now the Nemegt Formation around 70 million years ago. Therizinosaurus was a colossal therizinosaur that could grow up to 30-33 ft long and weigh possibly over 3 tons. Like other therizinosaurs, it would have been a slow-moving, long-necked high browser equipped with a rhamphotheca (horny beak) and a wide torso for food processing.

The forelimbs were particularly robust and had three fingers that bore unguals which, unlike other relatives, were very stiffened, elongated, and only had significant curvatures at the tips. Therizinosaurus had the longest known manual unguals of any land animal, reaching above 50 cm in length. Its hindlimbs ended in four functionally weight-bearing toes differing from other theropod groups in which the first toe was reduced to a dewclaw and also resembling the unrelated sauropodomorphs.
