The eagerly anticipated Haolonggood Sarcosuchus imperator models have arrived at Everything Dinosaur’s warehouse. Two superb 1:35 scale replicas of the enormous prehistoric crocodile Sarcosuchus are now in stock.

Collectors can choose between two striking colour variants. The Haolonggood Sarcosuchus imperator Tong Meng features a beautiful brown colouration. In contrast, the Haolonggood Sarcosuchus imperator Tong Wei has a greener colour scheme. They are both fabulous scale replicas of an ancient pseudosuchian that was scientifically described sixty years ago (Broin and Taquet).

Two Haolonggood Sarcosuchus imperator Models Available

The two Sarcosuchus figures have been introduced in 1:35 scale. They reflect Haolonggood’s continued expansion beyond dinosaurs into other fascinating prehistoric animals. The Tong Meng model combines subtle brown tones with careful detailing to highlight the animal’s powerful body shape. Meanwhile, the Tong Wei figure uses a greener colour palette, providing collectors with an alternative interpretation of this giant predator.

Sarcosuchus imperator remains one of the most famous prehistoric reptiles known to science. Its fossils come from Early Cretaceous deposits of Africa. This huge animal lived during the Early Cretaceous and shared its environment with a variety of dinosaurs.  Dinosaurs such as Spinosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus and Ouranosaurus.

Although often nicknamed “SuperCroc”, Sarcosuchus was not a direct ancestor of modern crocodiles. Instead, it is a distant relative of extant crocodilians.

Sarcosuchus – A Giant from the Early Cretaceous

Fossil evidence suggests that Sarcosuchus imperator was an enormous predator. Large individuals may have exceeded nine metres in length. Its long jaws contained numerous conical teeth ideal for gripping slippery prey. This remarkable reptile probably hunted fish and other animals around rivers and waterways. In addition, larger individuals may have been capable of tackling dinosaurs that ventured too close to the water’s edge.

The distinctive enlarged structure at the end of the snout, known as a bulla, remains one of the most recognisable features of Sarcosuchus. Scientists continue to debate its exact purpose.
