Product description and measurements

Dinocrocuta (D. brevirostris) is an extinct genus of mammal that lived during the Miocene of the Neogen period, approximately between 1.8 million years ago and 30,000 years ago. This genus belongs to the hyenid family (Hyaenidae) and is characterized by being a very large and robust species.

There were several species of Dinocrocuta, the best known being Dinocrocuta gigantea and Dinocrocuta brevirostris. D. gigantea was the largest species, with a height at the withers of about 1.5 meters and an estimated weight of about 500 kilograms, making it one of the largest hyenas that ever lived. By comparison, the current spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) weighs around 70-90 kilograms.

Dinocrocuta is characterized by having a large and broad head with a very powerful jaw and huge teeth. The teeth of this prehistoric hyena were so large that they often broke or wore away from the great pressure exerted when biting into the bones of their prey. In fact, fossil remains of Dinocrocuta have been found with bite marks from other members of their own species, suggesting that they were highly aggressive animals and frequently fought each other. Unlike modern hyenas, Dinocrocuta had long, strong legs, suggesting that it was a fast and agile runner. This species is believed to have hunted large prey, such as mammoths and woolly rhinos, and also ate carrion.

Although Dinocrocuta is an extinct genus, fossil remains have been found in many places in Europe and Asia, indicating that it had a very wide geographic distribution during the Pleistocene. Furthermore, it has been discovered that this species shared its habitat with other large predators, such as the saber-toothed tiger and the cave bear.

Collector's item ; Hyper-realistic replica, highly detailed and with a high degree of scientific precision.

Made to scale, prototyped in resin and with a scenic base in most of the models offered. If you like miniatures, both for collecting and for painting, we offer you a wide variety of scale replicas; All of them related to dinosaurs, extinct prehistoric fauna and current fauna.

So if you love dinosaurs and animals as much as we do, this is your favorite store to collect and paint them :)

We are authorized distributors of all the replicas and figures we offer. We use 3D printers with 8K - 14K resolution, and high-quality resins with additives to improve hardness and flexibility, thus offering replicas of impeccable quality.

Different scales will be used to make the replicas (depending on the size of the species), although we are open to making other suggested scales upon request as long as they fit in our printing trays, for which you will have to contact us via email and request the required size.

Replicas are supplied with the option of airbrush priming in dark grey. If you require another colour, please let us know which one you prefer in the box with special instructions for the seller. Without priming, we do not guarantee that the resin will accept paint.
We also offer the option of choosing a professionally painted replica, which is agreed upon throughout its development with the painter, through a private chat available.

Information about the models

The poses of the models aim to represent each character in the most scientifically viable way, thus revealing the life and customs of prehistoric and modern fauna.

Each character has its own personality and develops in different life scenarios; birth, adolescence and play, hunting, feeding, fighting, courtship, death and many other scenes from their daily life, always from the creative perspective of their designers.

Handmade

All orders are individually prepared on the cutter for subsequent prototyping, obtaining a resin part that will require post-processing by manual and ultrasonic cleaning, support removal, ultraviolet curing, labeling and packaging.

We are authorized distributors

We offer both our own physical replicas and those that have been modeled by many of the best 3D designers, in order to offer you the greatest possible variety.
