CollectA's replica of the Attenborosaurus is detailed and lifelike down to its bumpy hide. This pliosaur was named after English broadcaster and naturalist Sir David Attenborough. The original specimen was a nearly complete skeleton which was destroyed during World War II. Fortunately, several casts were made of the specimen, enabling scientists to study and display the Attenborosaurus. The long-necked, swimming dinosaur lived during the Early Jurassic Period, approximately 195 - 190 years ago. It grew to be 16 feet long and weighed up to 2,000 pounds.
