A unique creature and one of the bestselling Carnegie figures.
According to paleontologists, the infamously long neck of the Tanystropheus pushed the laws of physics to their limit. Several specimens of this Triassic carnivore have been discovered, some of which contain remarkably preserved examples of skin and soft tissue. The Tanystropheus also achieved considerable media attention when it was featured in the BBC documentary Sea Monsters. This prehistoric piscavore has the distinction of being the first animal in the Carnegie Collection with a bendable neck, although the real animal probably lacked such flexibility, as the neck was comprised of only ten vertebrae. This is the latest repaint of the 30 centimeter Tanysropheus figure by Safari Ltd.
