The figurine faithfully depicts Estemmenosuchus’s characteristic bony growths – protrusions on the cheeks, horns above the eyes, and a horn on the snout – and offers refined details for authentic play or display.
A great aid for children and adults who want to learn about prehistory: Estemmenosuchus was a Permian therapsid, living long before dinosaurs, and belongs to the evolutionary line leading to mammals.
Safari Ltd. emphasizes safety and quality – the figurines are hand-finished, non-toxic, and contain no lead, harmful chemicals, phthalates, or BPA. Suitable for children aged 3+.
Estemmenosuchus was not a dinosaur – it belonged to the therapsids, early ancestors of groups that later evolved into mammals. This figurine faithfully captures its typical traits: two large cheek protrusions, ornamental antler-like horns above the eyes, and a blunt horn on the snout, along with a robust body, splayed legs, and a short tail.
Safari Ltd. figurines are ideal for imaginative play at home and on the go, and also serve perfectly as a visual aid for education (e.g., when covering prehistory and animal evolution). They’re also great for collector display or creative activities.
