AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A long-extinct apex predator, in fact Halisaurus was such an intense predator, that if it were still swimming our oceans, the Megalodon might never have existed! These nightmare sea creatures were actually giant lizards that somewhat resembled the land-dwelling Komodo dragon. Imagine a lizard monster with the double hinge jaw of a snake with enormous teeth and a tail like a shark.. oh and they could be up to 8 meters long (depending on the species)! So they basically ate whatever they wanted (fish, dolphins, whales, sharks, even other members of their own species) Fossils of this species have been found on every continent, including Antarctica, evidence that these lizard kings dominated the ocean.
The Halisaurus is a younger brother from the same mosasaur family.
This specimen is of exceptional quality ….
Delivery within the Benelux .. outside the Benelux, pickup is required in the Rotterdam area
Height with standard 52cm/ length of Platecarpus 43 cm / width 16 cm
