Wind-Up Stegosaurus

To operate the toy, simply wind the mechanism. Then watch as it moves around, just like the real thing.

Best known for the two rows of diamond-shaped, bony plates that run along its back, Stegosaurus remains one of the most popular and easily recognisable dinosaurs that ever walked the Earth. These plates remain a mystery to scientists.

However, there is evidence to suggest they were used to help the dinosaur maintain its temperature throughout the day, by absorbing and releasing heat. They may also have been used to scare off predators and impress other members of the species. Stegosaurus was a herbivore. It would use its beak-like mouth to strip leaves from the branches of trees.
