Iguanodon Toy

Iguanodon was the first plant-eating dinosaur ever discovered, and the second dinosaur to be named. A sharp spike on its thumb provided a useful defensive weapon against predators. It occupied Europe during the Early Cretaceous, 125 million years ago.

• History: Iguanodon was originally thought to be a lumbering four-legged monster, similar to an iguana, with a horn on its nose. Later discoveries of complete articulated skeletons led to it being regarded as a biped with a posture more like a kangaroo, and the horn on its nose was correctly identified as a thumb spike. Today, Iguanodon is thought to have walked on four legs most of the time – the early 19th century palaeontologists were right about that after all!
• Scientific Name: Iguanodon bernissartensis
• Characteristics: Iguanodon is a herbivorous dinosaur, 33 feet long - the size of a small bus. It could walk on two long back legs, but spent most of its time on all fours, as our Iguanodon toy depicts. It has a horny beak and leaf-shaped teeth, similar to those of a modern iguana. It has a long tail and short arms with five-fingered hands. Most of its claws are blunt and hoof-like, but it has a sharp thumb spike.
• Size: This Iguanodon toy model is 7.25 inches long and 2.75 inches high.

Iguanodon   was the first plant-eating dinosaur ever discovered, and the second dinosaur to be named. A sharp spike on its thumb provided a useful defensive weapon against predators. It occupied Europe during the Early Cretaceous, 125 million years ago.

• Scientific Name:   Iguanodon bernissartensis
• Characteristics:   Iguanodon   is a herbivorous dinosaur, 33 feet long - the size of a small bus. It could walk on two long back legs, but spent most of its time on all fours. It has a horny beak and leaf-shaped teeth, similar to those of a modern iguana. It has a long tail and short arms with five-fingered hands. Most of its claws are blunt and hoof-like, but it has a sharp thumb spike.

The history of   Iguanodon   goes back almost 200 years. The first fossil remains of   Iguanodon   were collected in the 1820s from the gravels of Tilgate Forest in southern England. The fossils consisted of large teeth, similar is shape to those of a modern iguana, but much larger. These fossils were amongst the first dinosaur remains ever found. However, at that time nobody knew what a dinosaur was! So, these mysterious giant teeth shed the first light onto an ancient prehistoric world.

The teeth, along with some other isolated bones, were given the name   Iguanodon   in 1926. The name means ‘iguana tooth’. It was thought to be a giant reptile but, since this was before the word ‘dinosaur’ was even invented, the early paleontologists had a difficult task reconstructing   Iguanodon   from its fragmentary fossils. It was originally thought to be a lumbering four-legged monster, similar to an iguana, with a horn on its nose. Later discoveries of complete articulated skeletons led to it being regarded as a biped with a posture more like a kangaroo, and the horn on its nose was correctly identified as a thumb spike. Today,   Iguanodon   is thought to have walked on four legs most of the time – the early 19th century palaeontologists were right about that after all!

Fossil trackways of   Iguanodon   show that it was a social animal that lived in herds. This is because there is safety in numbers. It used its horny beak and leaf-shaped teeth to chomp through vegetation. Most of its claws are blunt and hoof-like, but a sharp spike on its thumb provided a defensive weapon to protect itself from predatory dinosaurs.

Iguanodon   was the first plant-eating dinosaur to be named, early in the history of dinosaur palaeontology, and so dozens of later dinosaur species were also allocated to the genus   Iguanodon . However, modern studies have shown that these former   Iguanodon   species are actually distinct dinosaurs. For example, one of the best known of these species ( ‘Iguanodon’ atherfieldensis ) was given the new name   Mantellisaurus   in 2007. Today, there are only two valid species of   Iguanodon :   I. bernissartensis   from northern Europe, and   I. galvensis   from Spain.   Iguanodon   occupied Europe during the Early Cretaceous, 125 million years ago, and is one of the best known of all dinosaurs.

Iguanodon (Wild Safari by Safari Ltd.)

The hulking ornithopod Iguanodon bernissartensis is probably the loveliest thing ever to spring from a mine in Belgium. Known from a number of remarkably complete specimens, you’d think it’d be hard to get the big-handed one wrong, and indeed most toys over the years have been decent, if unremarkable. It’s the sort of dinosaur that just sort of has to be in your toy range. Now’s the turn of the Wild Safari line to receive its own brand new Captain Stabbythumbs, and I must say it’s a quite excellent piece of work.

This beastie is yet another sculpt from Safari stalwart Doug Watson, a man who can be relied upon to turn in a well-researched, anatomically correct dinosaur toy. Proportionally it’s very hard to fault, and compares very favourably with Scott Hartman’s latest (2016!) Iguanodon skeletal . The limbs are the right lengths, the oversized hands are suitably absurd-looking and face the right way, the head’s exactly the right shape…why can’t you got wrong somewhere, Doug? You don’t leave much to write about.

Perhaps it could do with a little more meat in places, mainly around the thighs and hips ( Iguanodon had massive muscles around there), but one could well argue that that’s an aesthetic preference. I also don’t believe there should be a claw on the pinkie, although it’s difficult to tell if this was part of the sculpt, or just a mistake made during painting. These are truly minuscule nitpicks though, and do nothing to detract from the figure as a whole. It’s very solid.

The figure is covered in scales, and although they were strictly speaking probably a lot finer on the real animal, they do help lend the animal’s hide a reptilian, textured feel that might otherwise be lost. There are also crinkles and folds here and there, the better to enhance the sensation of bulk. A row of tiny, squared-off scales runs down the animal’s back, reminiscent of certain hadrosaurs, which is a lovely touch.

The colouration is also quite pleasing – mostly browns and creams, with a row of purpleish stripes down the animal’s back to add a little interest. Subtle, but attractive. The paint application on my example is mostly very good (certainly when compared with my 2016 WS Carcharodontosaurus ), with small details like the eyes and claws handled especially well. At something like 1:45 – 1:50 scale, it’s not especially big, but more than makes up for it with attention to detail.

All in all, it’s easily the best toy of its kind out there – well-researched, attractively coloured and all around just a thoroughly decent fellow. (And no, the name of the beer mentioned in the above photo isn’t an attempt to suggest anything. No one’s gilded this dragon.) Iguanodon might be the unassuming sort – at least, when it’s not trying to gouge some idiot theropod’s eye or trachea out – but this one’s a worthy addition to your collection.

i like this but maby this green eyes und purple back is not work with this bronzes

Found one of these by chance on the road during a stop in Hobby Lobby. They clearly didn’t carry it anymore, and it didn’t even have a price tag! Needless to say, I’m satisfied with it. My only complaint is that it’s somewhat small for an Iguanodon, but that’s easily enough handwaved. The paint job really is nice and the hands are exactly what one would hope for. Recommended to anyone else lucky enough to stumble across one.

Gulden Draak beer!

It is known to be a belgian beer, but actually it is one of the brands of a company based in the very same town in Northern Italy where I live, Gallarate.

So big dinosaurs, so small world! 😛

Thank you for your kind comments Marc. You are correct the factory incorrectly painted a claw on the fifth digit. You can see it is flesh textured and coloured in my original paint in the catalog images. Thanks to your catch I have informed Safari Ltd and they are making the correction.

I don’t know, something about the back of the head doesn’t look quite right to me. I think it’s that the neck slopes rather abruptly down from the skull. I’m used to a meatier neck, like in the old Carnegie model.

This study illustrates the spatio-temporal dynamics of urban growth and land use changes in Samara city, Russia from 1975 to 2015. Landsat satellite imageries of five different time periods from 1975 to 2015 were acquired and quantify the changes with the help of ArcGIS 10.1 Software. By applying classification methods to the satellite images four main types of land use were extracted: water, built-up, forest and grassland. Then, the area coverage for all the land use types at different points in time were measured and coupled with population data. The results demonstrate that, over the entire study period, population was increased from 1146 thousand people to 1244 thousand from 1975 to 1990 but later on first reduce and then increase again, now 1173 thousand population. Builtup area is also change according to population. The present study revealed an increase in built-up by 37.01% from 1975 to 1995, than reduce -88.83% till 2005 and an increase by 39.16% from 2005 to 2015, along w...

Land use/Cover Change in Russia within the context of global challenges. The paper presents the results of a research project on Land Use/Cover Change (LUCC) in Russia in relations with global problems (climate change, environment and biodiversity degradation). The research was carried out at the Faculty of Geography, Moscow State University on the basis of the combination of remote sensing and in-field data of different spatial and temporal resolution. The original methodology of present-day landscape interpretation for land cover change study has been used. In Russia the major driver of land use/land cover change is agriculture. About twenty years ago the reforms of Russian agriculture were started. Agricultural lands in many regions were dramatically impacted by changed management practices, resulted in accelerated erosion and reduced biodiversity. Between the natural factors that shape agriculture in Russia, climate is the most important one. The study of long-term and short-ter...

Annals of The Association of American Geographers

Land use and land cover change is a complex process, driven by both natural and anthropogenic transformations (Fig. 1). In Russia, the major driver of land use / land cover change is agriculture. It has taken centuries of farming to create the existing spatial distribution of agricultural lands. Modernization of Russian agriculture started fifteen years ago. It has brought little change in land cover, except in the regions with marginal agriculture, where many fields were abandoned. However, in some regions, agricultural lands were dramatically impacted by changed management practices, resulting in accelerating erosion and reduced biodiversity. In other regions, federal support and private investments in the agricultural sector, especially those made by major oil and financial companies, has resulted in a certain land recovery. Between the natural factors that shape the agriculture in Russia, climate is the most important one. In the North European and most of the Asian part of the ...

In recent decades, Russia has experienced substantial transformations in agricultural land tenure. Post-Soviet reforms have shaped land distribution patterns but the impacts of these on agricultural use of land remain under-investigated. On a regional scale, there is still a knowledge gap in terms of knowing to what extent the variations in the compositions of agricultural land funds may be explained by changes in the acreage of other land categories. Using a case analysis of 82 of Russia’s territories from 2010 to 2018, the authors attempted to study the structural variations by picturing the compositions of regional land funds and mapping agricultural land distributions based on ranking “land activity”. Correlation analysis of centered log-ratio transformed compositional data revealed that in agriculture-oriented regions, the proportion of cropland was depressed by agriculture-to-urban and agriculture-to-industry land loss. In urbanized territories, the compositions of agricultura...

Despite harsh climate, agriculture on the northern margins of Russia still remains the backbone of food security. Historically, in both regions studied in this article – the Republic of Karelia and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) – agricultural activities as dairy farming and even cropping were well adapted to local conditions including traditional activities such as horse breeding typical for Yakutia. Using three different sources of information – official statistics, expert interviews, and field observations – allowed us to draw a conclusion that there are both similarities and differences in agricultural development and land use of these two studied regions. The differences arise from agro-climate conditions, settlement history, specialization, and spatial pattern of economy. In both regions, farming is concentrated within the areas with most suitable natural conditions. Yet, even there, agricultural land use is shrinking, especially in Karelia. Both regions are prone to being af...

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

• Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
• Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
