Schleich Amargasaurus Dinosaur Figurine -15029 – Animals & Other Figures

If you combined an elephant, a cat, and a spiny anteater, you’d get…an Amargasaurus? This spiky longneck dinosaur is a real “pain in the neck” for predators. The only known skeleton of Amargasaurus was found in Argentina. Imagine you’re a scientist researching deep in the jungles of prehistoric Argentina. You and your fellow scientists spy a long-necked dinosaur with two rows of spikes along the sauropod’s spine. What on earth are those spikes? You and your fellow dino researchers are baffled. Can you come up with a theory? Your answer could shape the story of Amargasaurus for all of eternity.

Here’s a fun fact, Scientists are baffled by spiny spikes on the back of Amargasaurus. Were they covered in skin to create a sail? Were they for protection against predators? Were they noise makers? Nah…we think Amargasaurus just liked having a mohawk.
