Meet the Pachycephalosaurus, one of the most unique dinosaurs of the Late Cretaceous period and a true standout in any prehistoric lineup. Its name means “thick-headed lizard,” a perfect description for the remarkable domed skull that could measure 20–25 cm thick—one of the strongest skulls in the dinosaur world.
This bipedal herbivore grew up to 4–5 meters long and weighed around 450 kg, moving confidently on two powerful legs. Scientists believe its thick skull may have been used to ram rivals, display dominance, or intimidate competitors, making it as fascinating behaviorally as it is visually. The Schleich® Pachycephalosaurus figurine captures this iconic dinosaur with lifelike proportions, detailed sculpting, and a dynamic stance perfect for imaginative play and learning.
