Bullyland Elasmosaurus (Museum Line) Product Review:

Real-Life Elasmosaurus:

Elasmosaurus was a large marine reptile from the Late Cretaceous period, known for its incredibly long neck, which made up nearly half of its total body length. Measuring around 10-14 meters (33-46 feet), it had a streamlined body with four paddle-like flippers, allowing it to glide through the oceans. Its neck, composed of around 71 vertebrae, was not very flexible but enabled the Elasmosaurus to stealthily approach prey, such as fish and crustaceans, without disturbing the water. It had a small head with sharp, needle-like teeth ideal for catching slippery prey. First discovered in Kansas in the late 19th century, Elasmosaurus became famous due to a reconstruction error by paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope, who initially placed its head on its tail, a mistake later corrected. This remarkable reptile, along with other plesiosaurs, went extinct around 66 million years ago during the mass extinction event that also wiped out the dinosaurs. Today, it is often associated with myths about sea monsters due to its striking long-necked appearance.
