Description
I ended up buying more dinosaur figures in Japan than I originally intended, and this Carnotaurus turned out to be my absolute favourite. Schleich has really upped their quality in the last few years and have given their dinosaurs some pretty unique and eye-catching colour schemes. In popular media Carnotaurus is usually depicted with very warm colours, but I find this one to be very appeasing. The detail on this little guy is superb, though I do find it strange that his right arm is molded onto the body(hence why you can't see it). I wanted to get one as a gift for someone here on DA, but the one hobby shop where I bought it was the only place that had it, and I was counting on picking up another later on in the trip.To the intended recipient(you know who you are), sorry for not thinking ahead and I hope you're able to get this beautiful little figure at some point.

I have the T-rex and the Velociraptor but would love the carno and the giga

Nope, carnivores all the way!
Although, when I was a kid, Triceratops was my fav.
But, depending on what you read, Triceratops could have been carnivorous...

Did you read about that in a Dorling-Kindersley dinosaur book? Because in one of the books I have it claims that prosauropods were carnivorous.

I can't remember were I read it...
But it was something to do with the teeth inside the beak...
I'll probably find it if I google it...
It's an interesting theory but who knows...

It's a strange theory for sure, though it doesn't exactly retain much water.

I'm always open to new theories... no matter how crazy they seem.
I mean, look at the weird and wonderful designs from the original dino discoverers. Iguanadon & Megalosaurus for instance.
Palaeontologist are always discovering new things so who knows...

I too am open to new theories and ideas, as long as they are within reason.
Those weird and wonderful dinosaur designs are just that, and they just go to show as a sign of the times when dinosaurs were still a brand new concept. Palaeontology has gone from thinking that Iguanodon was a lumbering four-legged beast to knowing what the animal's skin impression looked like. We will always be discovering new things, that's a given, it's how people go about explaining it(or at least attempting to) that leaves me sitting on the fence.
