This species is not in any of my collection areas now, but I have it since it is such a strange, unusual creature!

This creature was not on my wishlist , but after your positive and humorous presentation and comments, it will perhaps migrate to my place also.

Talking about horn fashion? I will try it early tomorrow while taking my coffee outside and see if it is a popular conversation. I really love this figure. It is a very unusual creature. It looks quite bizarre but also very convincing at the same time. It is easy to watch this figure and think about the expression some lizards have. I also love the balance of this figure, the way it is firmly posed transmits some tension making it somewhat lifelike. Thanks for this funny approach, it turns everything much more enjoyable.

I really like strange looking creatures and when I saw this Shringa on 2020 Safari news, I immediately paste it on my wishlist ... And now I also have it in my collection And I really like it on real. Strange = Interesting :) + charming ... this is the Shringa for me. Only for one thing I`m not sure .... the neck . Watching photos and information ... everywere I see this shringasaurus presented with much longer neck. But maybe Doug Watson made much bigger resurch than me, before doing it Susanne, thank you for this wonderful and funny walkaround The last photo and the comment of it, made my day Roger, I`m curious ... with who you will try this morning coffee conversation ... ?

Thanks , friends from me and Shriga
Kosta, I also thought about the neck. In several places you can read that S had a long neck. Looking at THIS picture in Wikipedia, it seems that it was a little longer. : But as you say, Doug Watson may have done better research that we can If we look around, plant eaters - except the giraffe - that don't have hands or a trunk, have a neck long enough to reach the ground with their mouth, just as Shringa here
