Xiphactinus audax : The Sword-ray

Available sizes Large – 1:35 of the actual size | Normal, Hollow & Pre-supported versions Description Xiphactinus audax was a giant predatory fish that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 100–66 million years ago, in the ancient seas that once covered North America. Reaching lengths of up to 6 meters (20 feet), it was one of the largest bony fish of its time. Its streamlined body, powerful tail, and large jaws lined with sharp teeth made it a formidable hunter. Fossils have revealed remarkably preserved stomach contents, including entire fish swallowed whole. Despite its fearsome appearance, Xiphactinus was not a dinosaur but a marine fish that dominated the oceans alongside mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, and sharks.
