Purussaurus brasiliensis is an extinct species of crocodilian that lived during the Late Miocene epoch, approximately 8 to 10 million years ago, in what is now Brazil. It is one of the largest crocodilians that ever lived, with estimated lengths of up to 12 meters (39 feet) and estimated weights of up to 8,400 kilograms (18,500 pounds). Purussaurus had a broad, flat head, massive jaws, and conical teeth that were adapted for crushing and gripping prey. It likely lived in freshwater environments and preyed on a variety of large animals, including other crocodilians, turtles, and giant rodents. Model includes a Pre-supported version. The model come in 2 sizes. 1:35 of the actual size and 1:70 of the actual size. You can reduce or enlarge the model using the slicing software if you need a different size. Pre-supported model is oriented to minimize supports to the face and other high-detail parts. Care should be taken when removing the supports to avoid damaging the model.
