The Wild Safari Prehistoric World Megalosaurus Model

Megalosaurus holds a special place in scientific history. Firstly, it was formally named and described in 1824 (Buckland). As a result, it helped shape early understanding of prehistoric reptiles. Today, it remains one of the most historically significant theropods. After all, it was the first dinosaur to be scientifically described.

The Wild Safari Prehistoric World Megalosaurus model captures this iconic carnivore in impressive detail. The figure features carefully sculpted musculature and realistic skin textures. In addition, the dynamic pose reflects current scientific thinking about theropod movement. The attractive colour scheme also enhances the model’s visual appeal. Therefore, it makes a striking dinosaur display piece.

Saying Hello to Megalosaurus

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented on this exciting arrival. He stated:

“We are delighted to welcome the Wild Safari Prehistoric World Megalosaurus model. I do not recall Safari Ltd having produced a Megalosaurus model before.  For instance, I am confident that this dinosaur was never represented in the Carnegie Collection. This beautifully crafted replica represents the first dinosaur ever scientifically described, making it a very special addition for collectors and enthusiasts alike.”

Furthermore, Safari Ltd continues to produce high-quality prehistoric animal figures. This new Megalosaurus model demonstrates their commitment to scientific accuracy and artistic excellence. Consequently, it is likely to prove popular with collectors.

The Wild Safari Prehistoric World Megalosaurus is now available from Everything Dinosaur.
