The Wild Safari Prehistoric World Mosasaurus Figure

Safari Ltd have introduced an updated and more scientifically accurate Mosasaurus.  The model has no declared scale, but it does measure nearly twenty centimetres in length.  We are uncertain as to which species the model might represent.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“It is a highly detailed figure, and the subtle painting is fantastic.”

Scientifically Accurate

The design team have taken great care to incorporate scientifically accurate details into this figure.  For example, there are pterygoid teeth in the roof of the mouth. Furthermore, the figure has a forked tongue. There are a pair of openings in the roof of the mouth. They hint at the presence of a Jacobson’s organ. It is a specialised sensory structure helping Mosasaurus to detect particles in water. This detail on the model, links it to the anatomy of modern snakes and lizards. Indeed, mosasaurs were squamates.

The figure has a hypocercal tail. An asymmetrical tail fin found in certain fish and marine reptiles where the spinal column or notochord extends into the lower lobe, making the bottom part larger or more pronounced than the upper part.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur added:

“Furthermore, the Mosasaurus figure has a hypocercal tail. The lower lob of the tail is larger than the upper lobe.”
