We know very little about the creatures that live in our deep dark oceans. We know even less about the creatures that swam through those very waters, millions of years ago.
Here is your chance to change that.
At the Monsters of the Sea Exhibition at the Science Centre Singapore, you can come face-to-face with the legendary sea creatures that have dominated the marine world over time.
An immersive underwater experience
Monsters of the Sea is Asia Pacific’s largest animatronics showcase of pre-historic and existing sea monsters.
There is no doubt that your kids and you, will be completely awed by the life-sized animatronics displays of 14 pre-historic and two present-day sea monsters – each one bigger, better and more fascinating than the other.
As you enter the exhibition area, you are immediately transported into a marine world from another era – the special lighting and effects ensure that you get into an explorer mode straightaway!
Not to be missed Sea Monsters
While each of the 16 monsters is absolutely fascinating in it's own right, here are some which are just not to be missed.
- Elasmosaurus (existed 83 to 72 million years ago), a marine reptile well-known for its exceptionally long neck with approximately 71 cervical vertebrae that allow for greater flexibility and control of its head.
- Mosasaurus (existed 72 to 66 million years ago), which is known to weigh up to five tonnes and whose fearsome array of teeth prevented prey from escaping its jaws.
- Megalodon (existed 15-2.6 million years ago) had large teeth that grew up to 18cm. Its serrated and multiple rows of teeth allowed the sea monster to latch onto its prey tightly and thereafter tear it apart before consumption. This shark fed on aquatic marine mammals, especially small- to medium-sized whales, and also ate large sea turtles.
- Pliosaurus (existed 157 to 145 million years ago) was a massive marine reptile with a short neck and a large head. Built for speed, this sea monster had limbs that were paddle-shaped to help it move swiftly through the water. Pliosaurus hunted in the shallow seas and was known to consume their long-necked cousins – the plesiosaurs.
