Mosasaurs were enormous marine reptiles that lived during the Cretaceous period. Their name comes from the Meuse River in the Netherlands, where the first fossils were discovered. These prehistoric creatures could measure up to 17 meters in length and were formidable predators, feeding on fish, molluscs and even other marine reptiles. With limbs transformed into fins and a powerful tail, they were perfectly adapted to life in the Mesozoic oceans. Despite their disappearance some 66 million years ago, Mosasaurs remain emblematic symbols of the evolution and diversity of marine reptiles.
Step back into the age of dinosaurs with the Papo Mosasaur figurine. This marine reptile from the Upper Cretaceous will delight young and old alike with its realism and high level of detail. Papo figurines are hand-painted and designed to provide children with a great medium for play and imagination. Nothing is left to chance: correct postures and morphology, faithful reproduction of the animal's main characteristics.
The crocodile-like mosasaur had heavy, oval jaws. Its slender jaw did not allow it to swallow its prey in one go, but it could easily cut them up with its sharp teeth. It could reach 15 metres in length. However, it was more robust and heavy than its cousin the Tylosaurus, so a 10 metre Mosasaur could be as heavy as a 15 metre Tylosaurus.
Also available in the Dinosaurs collection from Papo: T-rex, Triceratops, Spinosaurus and many other figurines...
The Land of Dinosaurs is also available in the same collection and is the ideal play environment for Papo dinosaurs.Age: From 3 years old
