AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A long-extinct apex predator, in fact the mosasaur was such an intense predator that if it still swam our oceans, the megalodon might never have existed! These nightmare sea creatures were actually giant lizards that bore some resemblance to the land-dwelling Komodo dragon. Imagine a dragon monster with the double hinge jaw of a snake with enormous teeth and a tail like a shark... oh and they could reach up to 18 meters in length (depending on the species) which is 4 meters longer than your average yellow school bus! So they basically ate whatever they wanted (fish, dolphins, whales, sharks, even other Mosasaurus). Fossils of this species have been found on every continent, including Antarctica, proof that these lizard kings dominated the ocean.
The halisaurus is a smaller brother from the same mosasaurus family.
This specimen is of exceptionally high quality, and the fact that it is one halisaurus makes it even more special…
