There, Katsuyama City is the site of a layer of exposed rock dating back 120 million years called the Kitadani Formation, and it was there that the fossilised remains of the first new species of carnivore discovered in Japan – in 2000 named \u003cem\u003eFukuiraptor kitadaniensis\u003c\/em\u003e - were found. The specimen is 4.7 meters in length, but it is believed that \u003cem\u003eFukuiraptor\u003c\/em\u003e in fact grew to larger sizes. Possessing sharp teeth, large front claws and long hind legs, it is thought that \u003cem\u003eFukuiraptor\u003c\/em\u003e preyed upon herbivores such as \u003cem\u003eFukuisaurus\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBased upon academic research\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a scale model with realistic depictions of shape, pose and even skin texture based upon evidence gathered from research performed by recognized academic institutions and giving it life.\u003cbr\u003eWith the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dinosoken.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cu\u003ecooperation of Dinosaur Institute, Ltd.\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesign consulting: Kazunari Araki\u003cbr\u003eSupervised by Soki Hattori, Associate Professor at Fukui Prefectural University and Researcher at Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo cement required – the Clic Loc series!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFaithful to their subjects in form but with a simple assembly process in which parts simply fit together, these Clic Loc series models achieve a fine finish using a small number of parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color was \u003cem\u003eFukuiraptor\u003c\/em\u003e?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, there is no evidence in the fossil record regarding its color, but we can refer to its distant relatives in the modern day, and there are plenty of ideas in reference materials both printed and electronic.
