Step back into the Late Cretaceous and discover one of the most unusual dinosaurs ever found—the Therizinosaurus. Famous for its enormous, scythe-like claws—the longest claws of any known land animal—this remarkable dinosaur wasn’t a fearsome hunter. Instead, it was a herbivore, using its claws to dig, grasp branches, and peel bark from trees.
The Schleich® Therizinosaurus figurine beautifully captures this dinosaur’s unique silhouette, from its towering stance to its iconic claws. With exquisite detailing and a substantial size, it’s perfect for imaginative play, educational storytelling, and standout display in any dinosaur collection.
