Description An "Iguanodont" from the Early Cretaceous of England.  Mantellisaurus could have grown up to about 9 meters (29.5 ft) in length.  It was a contemporary of it's cousin Iguanodon, which it was once considered a species of.  This genus was more gracile than it's cousin.

Glad you caught that!  The pattern was partially inspired by the Springbok.

Great work, the colour scheme is amazing. 
(Okay, I'm a sucker for Black/White patterns, so no wonder I like it. xD But the rest is amazing, too. )

Cool. I like the kind of jade like color scheme. When I first saw the front legs, I thought because of how it was holding itself it would fall over, but then I remembered the entire back half of the dinosaur.

King-Edmarka In reply to Archipithecus [2014-04-20 20:04:29 +0000 UTC]

That's always a good thing to remember. 

The color scheme was inspired somewhat by Gregory S. Paul's rendition of the animal in the Princeton book, and the pattern was based mostly off of the Springbok.

Do not base movement of creatures with tails off of creatures without tails.

I can see the sprinkboky-ness of the color patterns.
