Diplodocus - Grey

One of the best known and loved sauropod dinosaurs, Diplodocus, lived 154,152 million years ago in the Late Jurassic era. It inhabited the area now known as Mid,Western North America. Its name means double,beamed reptile in reference to the double beamed chevron bones located in the underside of the tail, which were then considered unique. Its extremely long tail is thought to have been used as a whiplash and defense against such predators such as Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus with whom it shared its world. Species of Diplodocus ranged in size from 27 to 33m in length. A very popular model since its first issue, CollectA has now decided to produce a new colour scheme for its rearing diplodocus at the request of several fans.
