Mononykus

These charming Mononykus are inspired by the design seen in the ‘Deserts’ episode of Prehistoric Planet. Made by Leo from super soft faux fur and minky, filled with polyester stuffing and recycled plastic beans for weight and floppiness. Their mouths, noses and toes are hand embroidered, and their face markings have been carefully painted on without compromising softness.

Dimensions: approx. 48cm nose-to-tail length, 21cm sitting height

Description: Mononykus was a small theropod dinosaur from Late Cretacious Asia, named for its single-clawed arms. In Prehistoric Planet, this dinosaur was depicted using its large claws and long tongue to excavate termite nests, and featured an owl-like facial disc which would enhance its sense of hearing to pinpoint its prey.
