Step back 70 million years and meet the Carnotaurus, one of the most intimidating predators of the Late Cretaceous. Famous for its rounded snout, sharp knife-like teeth, and distinctive horns above its eyes, this powerful carnivore was built for speed and strength. Reaching lengths of up to 9 meters and weighing as much as 2 tones, Carnotaurus was a true apex hunter.
The only known Carnotaurus skeleton was discovered in Argentina, giving scientists remarkable insight into this unique dinosaur’s anatomy and hunting style. The Schleich® Carnotaurus figurine brings these fascinating details to life with a dynamic pose and realistic sculpting—perfect for imaginative play, learning, and display.
