Folkmanis Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex Hand Puppet

Hailing from the mighty Cretaceous Period, the Folkmanis Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex hand puppet is a legendary predator reimagined with a fierce look and a friendly heart. Designed for dynamic play with a movable mouth and arms, striking simulated feathers and richly textured scaly fabric, it brings prehistoric power to life. Jointed legs let it stand on its own and become the ruler of any playroom.

Tyrannosaurus rex lived 68 to 66 million years ago in western North America, in a broad landscape of rivers and floodplains best known today from the Hell Creek Formation. Its prey were duck-billed dinosaurs such as Edmontosaurus and the horned Triceratops. Only a handful of bones are known from its first years. From one of them a roughly two-year-old tyrannosaur has been put at around 30 kilograms – about as much as a strong German shepherd. Juveniles stayed under two tonnes until about the age of 14. No egg or nest of Tyrannosaurus rex has ever been found – so how the animals nested remains unknown.

Did you know that the feathers of T. rex are an open research question? Relatives such as the nine-metre Yutyrannus from China are known to have worn feathers. Skin impressions from the neck, hip and tail of a Tyrannosaurus, described in 2017, show scales instead. Researchers therefore consider feathers on the adult animal possible at most along the back – the one region from which no impressions survive. This hand puppet follows the feathered view.
