The Mosasaurus is a fierce marine reptile, widely known from the movie "Jurassic World," and believed to have reigned at the top of the ocean's food chain. While most of Favorite's dinosaur series features terrestrial creatures, marine animals have been subtly represented. The introduction of the Mosasaurus adds even more depth to the collection. We invite you to add it to your collection.

"About the Mosasaurus"

Classification: Reptilia, Squamata, Mosasauridae
Size: Length 12.5-18 meters
Geological period: Late Cretaceous
Among the Mosasauridae that flourished in the seas of the Late Cretaceous, it was one of the largest, characterized by a crocodile-like head, a barrel-shaped and streamlined body, and limbs that evolved into flippers. It is believed that its head had a double-jointed jaw that allowed it to open its mouth wide, swallowing prey whole. Recent research on its close relative, Platecarpus, suggests the possibility that it may have had a crescent-shaped caudal fin like a shark.

"Realistic Detail Mosasaurus Soft Model"

This is a high-quality figure that reproduces the Mosasaurus, a gigantic carnivorous marine reptile that flourished in the seas of the Late Cretaceous, with great detail. The prototype was created by Kazunari Araki, one of Japan's leading dinosaur sculptors, allowing you to enjoy a "realistic and cool" dinosaur figure meticulously crafted down to the finest details.

"Style"

The posing captures the dynamic motion of the Mosasaurus diving deep into the ocean to catch its prey. Since Mosasaurus are related to modern monitor lizards, the scales and wrinkles are faithfully recreated to resemble those of monitor lizards. Additionally, the figure comes with a base designed to evoke an underwater scene, allowing for an even more dynamic display.

"Coloring"

Adorned with patterns inspired by monitor lizards and fish, and complemented by a brown-based color scheme, it results in a figure with rich character.

"Prototype created by: Kazunari Araki"

Kazunari Araki is one of Japan's leading dinosaur sculptors, known for creating dinosaur restoration models for natural history museums and prototypes for dinosaur encyclopedias. Born in Osaka Prefecture in 1961, he is responsible for dinosaur restoration models in natural history museums and prototypes for dinosaur encyclopedias. In October 2001, he created a model of a baby Pteranodon for the "Ghibli Museum, Mitaka." He also holds special exhibitions mainly at museums and is widely active in the field of dinosaurs. For the Favorite collection, he is responsible for sculpting the dinosaur soft models, dinosaur vinyl models, and baby models. His published works include "Rittai Kyouryuu Zukan" (3D Dinosaur Encyclopedia), "Fifty Dinosaurs," and "Hakken Zukan Kouryuu" (Discovery Picture Book: Dinosaurs) (Gakken).
