Product details
About 15 million years ago, during the middle Miocene , on the open plains of what is now Argentine Patagonia, lived one of the most extraordinary predatory birds ever discovered: Kelenken guillermoi . This animal belongs to the group of terror birds ( Phorusrhacidae ), flightless carnivores that dominated South America after the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs.
Kelenken grew to nearly 3 meters in height , making it one of the largest known carnivorous birds. Its weight is estimated at around 150 to 250 kilograms , with a robust body and long limbs that gave it speed and endurance while running. Unlike other predatory birds, it lacked functional wings, and its true power resided in its legs and skull.
The most impressive feature was its gigantic head , approximately 71 centimeters long , the largest recorded in any bird. The beak was broad, high, and strongly curved at the tip, with razor-sharp edges. This structure was perfectly adapted for hunting medium-sized or even large prey: probably small South American ungulates, giant rodents, and other vertebrates.
Its hunting strategy would have combined speed and precision . With its long legs, it could run swiftly in open spaces, similar to an ostrich, and once close to its prey, it would use its enormous beak to deliver rapid blows, tearing flesh or breaking bones. Some paleontologists suggest that it may have practiced a technique similar to that of its distant relatives, modern seriemas, which consisted of repeatedly slamming its prey against the ground to weaken it before devouring it.
The Miocene Patagonian environment was dominated by savannas and grasslands, a perfect habitat for a large running predator. There, Kelenken was likely one of the apex carnivores, competing with other large predators such as primitive saber-toothed cats ( Sparassodonta ) and terrestrial crocodiles.

Information about aftershocks
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.
Complete replica (one piece): We supply complete replicas in those models that are small, and models that are medium, large or not very bulky, will have the prerogative of being presented as a complete replica or assembly kit as the case may be.
Complete replicas will be supplied separately from their base.
Replica assembly kit: We supply replicas whose models are large, very large or bulky, only with this option.
The indicated replicas (generally composed of base, head, body and tail) will come prepared for the subsequent assembly that will be required by the client, by sanding, putty, adhesive or technique chosen by the client.
All replicas are thoroughly inspected before shipping and will be carefully packaged to prevent damage during transport.
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.
