Natureworks plans, designs and fabricates megafauna reconstructions – realistic sculptures of large extinct animals – which you’ll find in this catalogue.
The term Megafauna describes any large animals (including large present-day mammals like elephants), but is generally used to refer to large animals that roamed the Earth up to 2.5 million years ago. To create a sculpture or other visual representation of a large animal that no longer lives, we reconstruct it from scientific and cultural evidence.
Unique megafauna collection
You won’t find such a complete collection of Australian megafauna replicas anywhere else! Our megafauna reconstructions are life-size museum-quality sculptures, suitable for:
- Museums and natural history displays
- Educational displays and visitor attractions
- Fantasy sculptures & themescapes
- Larger than life installations and nature-themed events
- Designed environments (we can integrate animal sculptures and artificial plants, rocks and caves into natural environments or interior spaces)
- Cultural and interpretive centres
Megafauna reconstructions for education
For an example of how megafauna reconstructions can be used for educational purposes, see our Megafauna Sculptures at Australian National Botanic Gardens. This display showed the connection between prehistoric fauna and modern day flora.
Natureworks’ megafauna animal collection includes animals such as the Giant Phascolonus Wombat, Diprotodon, and Megalania Lizard.
