Collecta 2019: DINOSAURS - Caiuajara Deluxe (88839)

I've just got this from Collecta :

"Caiuajara meaning Caiuá Tapejara (supreme sized model)

Late Cretaceous 85 million years ago. Not a dinosaur but a tapejarid pterosaur from Brazil. Notable for its huge head-crest that changed shape as the animal matured. Both sexes appear to have had crests, although these may have been differently patterned. they were presumably used during mating rituals as species recognition or to show sexual maturity. The CollectA model shows an adult on the ground. The animal lived in a desert environment near a lake but it is not known what it ate. The jaws are toothless and it is assumed that it was either a herbivore or ate insects. The largest examples are thought to have had a wingspan of some 2.35 metres."

I'm really excited about this one!
So glad it's a deluxe model.

The colors are stunning. Great model.

Nice figure

For a moment I thought it was a butterflyfish being atacked by a strange seabed creature. Watching it better now I can see it is just a butterfly being eaten by a praying mantis. By the way, have anyone seen my glasses? I just can't find them.

I LOVE this model !!! What a sight it must have been, if a herd of those were grazing on a meadow
