Step back into the age of giants and meet the Brontosaurus, one of the most legendary dinosaurs ever discovered. Known as the “Thunder Lizard,” this enormous herbivore shook the prehistoric world with its sheer size—reaching up to 22 meters long and weighing an estimated 15 tons.
With its massive body, long tail, and slender neck, Brontosaurus was built for slow, powerful movement across ancient landscapes. Although no complete skull has ever been found, scientists believe it closely resembled that of its relative, the Apatosaurus. Some theories even suggest its tail could snap like a whip, creating a thunder-like crack that added to its fearsome reputation.
The Schleich® Brontosaurus figurine captures this awe-inspiring dinosaur with lifelike proportions and a calm, majestic pose—perfect for imaginative play, learning, or display.
