Step into the Late Jurassic, around 150 million years ago, and meet the Ceratosaurus—a striking carnivorous dinosaur known for its bold horns and fearsome silhouette.
Nicknamed the Horned Lizard, Ceratosaurus stood out with a prominent bony horn on its nose, two raised bumps above its eyes, and a back lined with spike-like bones that added to its intimidating presence.
Scientists believe these horns and ridges may have been used to intimidate rivals or during combat, making Ceratosaurus a formidable predator of its time. The Schleich® Ceratosaurus figurine captures these iconic features with lifelike detail and a dynamic, action-ready pose—perfect for imaginative play, learning, and display.
