The Papo Gorgosaurus figure stands in a dynamic pose, capturing the Gorgosaurus in mid-stride and mid-roar, as if stalking its prey. Articulated jaw really opens and closes!
The sculpting detail is exceptional. The skin texture is meticulously crafted, with scales and folds that reflect the realistic appearance of reptilian skin. The Gorgosaurus’ head is particularly notable, featuring a fearsome expression displaying sharp, serrated teeth.
The figure's coloration includes various shades of tan and brown, enhancing its naturalistic appearance and emphasizing the creature’s camouflage abilities in its ancient environment.

The Papo Gorgosaurus measures approximately in inches:
7.1 L x 2.8 H.
Gorgosaurus (meaning "dreadful lizard") lived in western North America during the Late Cretaceous Period (Campanian), between about 76.6 and 75.1 million years ago. Gorgosaurus was smaller than Tyrannosaurus or Tarbosaurus, closer in size to Albertosaurus and Daspletosaurus. Adults reached 26 to 30 ft from snout to tail. Paleontologists have estimated full-grown adults to weigh about 2.5 tons, perhaps approaching 2.8-2.9 tons.
The largest known skull measures 39 in long, just slightly smaller than that of Daspletosaurus. As in other tyrannosaurids, the skull was large compared to its body size, although chambers within the skull bones and large openings (fenestrae) between bones reduced its weight. Albertosaurus and Gorgosaurus share proportionally longer and lower skulls than Daspletosaurus and other tyrannosaurids.
The end of the snout was blunt, and the nasal and parietal bones were fused along the midline of the skull, as in all other members of the family. The eye socket was circular rather than oval or keyhole-shaped as in other tyrannosaurid genera. A tall crest rose from the lacrimal bone in front of each eye, similar to Albertosaurus and Daspletosaurus. Differences in the shape of bones surrounding the brain set Gorgosaurus apart from Albertosaurus.
