CollectA Hydrotherosaurus CollectA Model 88139Age: 3 years and upProduct Dimensions: 19 x 6.5 x 6 cm Hydrotherosaurus, a type of marine reptile known as a plesiosaur, was an awe-inspiring creature that roamed the oceans during the Late Cretaceous period. Its most notable feature was its incredibly long neck, which consisted of around 60 vertebrae, making it one of the longest-necked plesiosaurs ever discovered. With such a neck, Hydrotherosaurus could efficiently snatch fish and other marine creatures from a distance, giving it an advantage in hunting. Interestingly, despite being a marine reptile, it is believed to have had a lung-based respiratory system, meaning it needed to surface regularly for air. So, picture the Hydrotherosaurus as a graceful underwater acrobat, skillfully maneuvering its elongated neck to catch prey while occasionally surfacing to breathe in the prehistoric seas. Hand painted and highly detailed. Made of durable vinyl. Manufactured from a high quality, non-toxic PVC that passes the quality standards for the Australian/NZ toy industry as well as that of USA and Europe.
