The new Wild Safari Prehistoric World Deinosuchus model is in stock at Everything Dinosaur. Mike and Sue have been busy contacting customers who asked to be informed about its arrival.  The taxonomy of Deinosuchus remains uncertain. Fossil remains are fragmentary, however, it is now known that this massive predator lived on both sides of the Western Interior Seaway.  It is regarded by many palaeontologists as one of the largest members of the crocodilian lineage known to science.  This giant reptile could have exceeded ten metres in length.

The Wild Safari Prehistoric World Deinosuchus Model

The model measures an impressive twenty-three and a half centimetres in length.  Ironically, for such a powerful predator, the figure does not have an articulated jaw.  However, the model has been beautifully painted and shows some remarkable detail. Congratulations to the design team for their depiction of the thick osteoderms on the back of the animal.  In addition, the mouth, teeth and jaws have been designed with care.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Safari Ltd produced a replica of Deinosuchus many years ago.  It was part of the Carnegie collection.  Indeed, we at Everything Dinosaur stocked this model, but it was retired and moved out of production in 2015 or thereabouts.  However, we are delighted to see a new interpretation of this Late Cretaceous giant arriving at our warehouse.”
