Pet Dinosaurs (of the Robotic Variety)

I remember when the robotic pet dinosaur named Pleo came out, how bad I actually wanted one (and still kind of do). Watching the video demonstrations of the Pleo in action are downright ridiculous and cute.

Besides, a robotic dinosaur that is about as big as your cat? Imagine the fun you could have with that!

Video demonstration of Pleo in action:

Well, another company decided to one up the Pleo and release their own pet dinosaur – Kota. Simply looking at the picture, you might only be think, “Wow, it looks like a Pleo but in Triceratops form.”

And you would be right. Except for one thing, the Kota is big enough for a kid to ride. Ridiculous!

Commerical for the Kota dinosaur (apologies for the horrible music):

This thing will eat Pleos for breakfast! That said, I still wouldn’t mind a Pleo. Really, what would I do with a robotic dinosaur that I could ride?
