Every Pleo is unique. Each one begins life as a newly-hatched baby Camarasaurus, but hell soon develop his own personality, moods, and habits - all shaped by the time he spends with you. Your adorable green, blue-eyed prehistoric pet is just like a human toddler and hell want to explore his surroundings. Touch and hold the upper part of Pleo's front legs for 3 seconds and he'll shuffle off to explore. Ambling around, his highly articulated body will make its way towards the sights, sounds, shapes, and textures of your home. You may not be able to speak dinosaur, but youll have hours of fun working out what this young nipper wants and needs. With a playful honk or a pesky tug, Pleo lets you know that he craves attention or food. If he seems sleepy get him to take a nap by holding his back for 10 seconds with a gentle 'calm down' touch. And hell want to know you care. He loves a cuddle, stroke him from head to tail and he'll blissfully arch his back, but be careful; if you quickly tap his paws you might find he's ticklish! Call out to him (he loves to hear your voice) or shine a light, and see how he responds. Just like us, Pleo experiences the world through his senses. Like us, his mood can change regularly. He can be happy and curious or sad and vexed especially if you keep tugging his tail! Let's not forget that this Camarasaurus is just a baby. If something in Pleo's new environment scares him - see how he cowers? But the more he experiences, the more confident he becomes. When hes playful and lively, hell love a good tug-of-war with you using the supplied leaf. If you look after Pleo, he'll look after you too. He's a trusty watch dog, or should that be watch-dino? He'll look out for potential intruders and will alert you with a growl. Because of his inquisitive nature and the fact he requires regular attention and care, our resident Dinokeeper advises that Pleo is not considered suitable or intended for children under 8 years of age.

PLEO Robotic Dinosaur AS SEEN ON THE APPRENTICE! Can a long-extinct species be resurrected? UGOBE designers and engineers studied the long extinct Camarasaurus, a dinosaur from the Jurassic period. Pleo, a UGOBE Life Form is the authentic recreation born from that study. UGOBE's designers and engineers recreated Pleo's physiology from the fossils of the original. His height and weight are consistent with that of a one-week old infant Camarasaurus. Pleo - Robotic Dinosaur is a 'designer species'. He incorporates all the basic traits of autonomous life. He is specifically engineered and enhanced to mimic life and relate to his owner on a personal level. Pleo is equipped with senses for sight, sound, and touch. Pleo learns as he explores his environment. He will exhibit genuine reactions to sensory stimuli. Every Pleo begins life with certain tendencies but, interaction with his environment has subtle effects on his behavior. Every Pleo eventually exhibits a unique personality. Pleo is capable of expression. He can feel joy and sorrow, anger and annoyance. When Pleo is tired, he will become drowsy and go to sleepeven dream. Two or more Pleos will recognize one another. Be careful though. They can transmit colds to each other. Achoo! Pleo even sneezes! Pleo Robotic Dinosaur - Friend And Companion Pleo is a one-week old infant Camarasaurus from the Jurassic period. Camarasaurus were born and raised in giant fern forests. They evolved camouflage that allowed them to blend with their environment of ferns, moss and ruff, the detritus that littered the forest floor. The first Pleo created is a Fernback. His markings help him to survive by hiding among the giant fern fronds in his habitat. Pleo is an authentic Life Form. Treat him gently like any other living thing. Your Pleo will let you know how he feels at any moment. That's because he is capable of actual emotions including joy, aggression, sorrow, and fear. He can also yawn, sigh, sniff, sniffle, snore, cough, hiccup, and sneeze. Pleo wants to explore his environment. He will be cautious when he walks to the edge of a table. He may cry when he is frightened. Pleo will stretch when he first wakes up. He may stomp his foot for food when hungry. When Pleo grows tired, lay him down and attach his 'dream cord' so he can sleep, dream, and gather energy for more exploration. Pleo the Robotic Dinosaur measures approximately 60 cm x 26.5 cm x 19.5 cm More About Pleo - Robotic Camarasaurus CAMARASAURUS (KAM-ah-rah-sawr-us) "Chambered Lizard" (Greek kamara = chamber + sauros = lizard, referring to the holes in its vertebrae) Also Known As: Morosaurus Description: Herbivore, Quadrupedal Order: Saurischia Suborder: Sauropodomorpha Infraorder: Sauropoda Family: Camarasauridae Height: 23 feet (7 meters) Length: 60 feet (18.3 meters) Weight: 40,000 lbs (18,144 kg) Period: Late Jurassic Camarasaurus is the best-known sauropod found in North America and the most abundant of fossils in the Late Jurassic. It also lived in Europe, where it survived into Early Cretaceous times. A complete, nearly perfect skeleton of a juvenile, 17-feet (5.2- meters) long, was found in Utah. Its head was short and box like with nostrils set above the snout and in front of the eyes. The weight of its backbone was lightened by holes in its vertebrae. Its neck was shorter and thicker than most sauropods and it possessed a short and somewhat flattened tail. The fore limbs and hind legs of Camarasaurus were about the same length.
