Basilosaurus The Serpent Whale of Prehistoric Oceans 3D print model

Basilosaurus was a giant, serpentine early whale that roamed the Eocene oceans around 40 million years ago. Despite its name meaning “king lizard,” Basilosaurus was a fully aquatic mammal, stretching up to 60 feet long with a slender body, sharp teeth, and vestigial hind limbs — eerie reminders of its land-dwelling ancestors. It was a powerful predator, likely feeding on fish, sharks, and smaller whales.

This model emphasizes Basilosaurus’s unique combination of whale and serpent — long, sinuous, and unlike anything alive today. It’s perfect for paleo fans, oceanic collectors, and anyone who loves the ancient monsters of Earth’s deep past.
