Released by Japanese model maker MEGAHOUSE, the "Dissection Puzzle" series, which creates three-dimensional puzzles of biological skin, bones, and internal organs, allowing people to learn while playing, recently announced its latest product, themed around ancient creatures, the "Mosasaurus Restoration Puzzle", scheduled for release in early July 2022.
The protagonist this time, the Mosasaurus genus, is a large marine reptile that existed in the late Cretaceous period and inhabited shallow seas. As an apex predator, it possessed a streamlined, elongated body; all four limbs were flippers, and its tail was as powerful as a shark's. Its sharp mouth, filled with formidable teeth, dismembered prey with a powerful bite. However, the Mosasaurus's size was not as exaggeratedly huge as depicted in the movie "Jurassic World", where it seemed capable of swallowing a helicopter in one gulp; its actual body length was only 13 to 15 meters.
The "Mosasaurus Restoration Puzzle" consists of 35 parts, forming a Mosasaurus approximately 22 cm in length. The design is not overly realistic, and like previous products in the series, it features large, watery eyes, making it quite cute. Among the 35 parts are 9 body surface parts, 17 bone parts, and 9 internal organ parts. It includes an instruction manual in four languages to help you learn the names of each bone and internal organ. Piece by piece, you can restore the entire Mosasaurus's body structure from the inside out, gaining extensive knowledge, and you can also use the ammonite-shaped display stand!
