Everything Dinosaur has commissioned a Phorusrhacos scale drawing. This illustration is to be used in the Phorusrhacos fact sheet. This fact sheet will be sent out free of charge with sales of the new CollectA Deluxe Phorusrhacos figure. Commonly referred to as a “Terror Bird”, Phorusrhacos (P. longissimus) is thought to have measured around 2.8 metres long. It stood around 2.4 metres high. Furthermore, the skull was huge, one of the largest known in the Aves. The skull measured around sixty-five centimetres long.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:
“We are expecting the CollectA Deluxe Phorusrhacos model to be in stock shortly. Fans of these giant birds have been requesting a new and updated figure. It joins the Kelenken model that was introduced by CollectA back in 2011.”
The Phorusrhacos Scale Drawing
Scale drawings of prehistoric animals, such as Phorusrhacos longissimus, help model collectors visualise the size and proportions of “Terror Birds”. These illustrations help to enhance understanding. In addition, the free fact sheets supplied by Everything Dinosaur are valuable educational tools.

Mike added:
“The new CollectA Deluxe Phorusrhacos is on a base. The base itself has plenty of detail including a shed canine tooth from a sparassodont. Scientists now know that these types of cursorial birds had an enlarged claw on their second toe. This large claw, similar to the killing claw of Velociraptors may have been used to pin prey.”
