Cockroach 3D Puzzle



Unlike the real thing, these ARE destructible!

Our Plastic 3D Cockroach Puzzle


The details on this 3-D puzzle animal toy add another dimension, so you could say it is 4-D (3-D + details)! It is certainly one of the more detailed we have seen, making it an interesting replica as well as a fun toy for adults and children above the age of 3. This delightful insect model comes assembled, and its body is 3 1/2 inches long. The pieces are cleverly fitted, flexible, and not too difficult to assemble. When complete, this highly-detailed insect stands nicely on its own for display on your shelf, TV, computer monitor, etc. Check out our other 3-D Puzzle Animals, as well as our other insect toys.

About Cockroaches


A cockroach is a general term for a number of species from the order Blattodea. The American species is omnivorous and can be found most anywhere in garbage or around rotting food in the kitchen. Cockroaches are mainly nocturnal and will run away when exposed to light. They are incredibly resilient insects with some species capable of remaining active for a month without food, or being able to survive on limited resources like the glue from the back of postage stamps. Some cockroaches can go without air for 45 minutes and can live without a head for a long time. The lifespan of a cockroach is about a year (assuming it has its head).

About House Flies


The common house fly (Musca domestica) is from the order Diptera, meaning two-winged, although the house fly actually has only one pair of wings. It has an excellent avoidance reaction due to its sensitivity to air movement. The house fly transmits diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and salmonella and is a menace in poorer areas. The house fly eats only liquids. It spits out saliva onto solid food to pre-digest it. Then it sucks the food back in through its proboscis, spits the food back out again and re-eats it. The house fly is a master at walking upside-down and walking on vertical surfaces. It accomplishes this feat by secreting adhesive juices from glands above its feet. Also the house fly is constantly preening its hairy legs. It must do this in order to keep the smell and taste receptors on the tiny hairs clean and viable.

About Dilophosaurus


Dinosaurs represent the dominant terrestrial lifeforms on planet Earth for 135 million years, from the beginning of the Jurassic period through the end of the Cretaceous period approximately 65 million years ago. While no human ever lived during the age of dinosaurs, modern palentologists have learned much studying the fossilized remains of these magnificent creatures.

Dilophosaurus was a carnivorous dinosaur that existed about 193 million years ago. Fossils of dilophosaurus were originally found in 1942 in Arizona. Dilophosaurus could grow to be 20 feet long, and it's estimated they weighed as much as 1000 pounds.

About Pachycephalosaurus

While no human ever lived during the age of dinosaurs, modern palentologists have learned much studying the fossilized remains of these magnificent creatures.

Pachycephalosaurus is best known for a characteristic dome of bone crowning its skull. This dome can be as much as 10 inches thick. The purpose of such a formidable helmet of bone is still being debated by paleontologists. It's been suggested that pachycephalosaurus competed with each other by cracking their heads together in much the same way modern mountain goats do, in which case the thick dome of bone would be necessary to protect pachycephalosaurus's brain. Pachycephalosaurus was believed to be up to 15 feet long and weighed almost 1,000 pounds.

Plastic Fossa



An exotic and unique addition to any collection!

Our Plastic Toy Fossa


This engaging, realistic-looking plastic fossa miniature is made of hard, somewhat flexible plastic. This fossa replica has detailed fur and is painted brown. The fossa body is 2 inches long and the tail is one inch long. This miniature fossa makes for a nice pet, fits into a shoebox diorama for a school project or serves as a great collectible. Check out our other fossa and mongoose toys and gifts.

About Fossas


The fossa (Cryptoprocta ferox) is a large carnivore found exclusively in Madagascar. Related to the mongoose, it behaves much more like a leopard. It spends much of the time in the trees and it leaps from tree to tree like a squirrel. It is almost 3 feet long and weighs as much as 15 pounds. Some think that the fossa is entirely nocturnal since they are rarely sighted. It hunts fish, birds and particularly enjoys eating lemurs. Fossas have no natural predators, but have suffered like most Madagascar animals from the incursions of man.

Dilophosaurus Dinosaur 3-D Puzzle

Our 3-D interlocking plastic dinosaur puzzles continue to be popular, and for good reasons. They're fun, colorful, and they challenge your mind and hands. Have fun opening the plastic egg case and fitting the pieces together to create your own dinosaur! When he's put together, you can leave him on display, or put the pieces back for another time. Each 3-D puzzle comes with a schematic in case you get stuck, but we don't think you'll need it. We have a nice selection of dinosaur puzzles along with other interesting animals. Come check them out!

Dilophosaurus dinosaurs come from the Early Jurassic Period, and are named for the two crests on their heads. Dilophosaurus was not described until 1954.

Plastic prehistoric animal toys still shipping for Christmas!

This woolly mammoth puzzle is among the interesting prehistoric animals available in our online gift shop. They are in stock as of this posting and available for shipping in time for Christmas (along with many other animals we have in 3-D puzzle format!). In the US, we ship by Priority mail, which should take only 2-4 days to arrive, as we ship the same day we get your order.

Deinosuchus may look like a crocodile or alligator, but he's one of their ancient relatives.

Andrewarchus is a very strange "cat"! In fact, he's not a cat at all - or a dog - but is more closely related to hoofed animals. Look at those jaws! He was a hoofed predator - what an interesting toy to help a child to learn about life on Earth!

This is one of the saber tooth cats in our store. He's a puzzle you our your child (grandchild, etc.) can put together and take apart again. We also have a beautiful sabertooth cat that isn't a puzzle. Come have a look!
