What Type of Dinosaur is the Pleo?

It's a good question. Ugobe (the makers)have told us it's a Camarasaurus.

If you wanted to know more about this type of dinosaur then we'd recommend you should check out Wikipedia.

Yeh, but why the Camarasaurus?

Well like kids, a baby Camarasaurus is pretty chubby. And it's this "padding" that the designers thought would allow them to protect the sensors and robotics within.

From a marketing front, many kids wouldn't want to buy a robotic dinosaur that looks frightening. A cute Camaraurus should sell bucket loads!
