Introducing the Montypythonoides Riversleighensis: A New Megafauna Sculpture at Currumbin Sanctuary

Natureworks has brought another piece of Australia’s ancient past to life with the introduction of our latest creation: the Montypythonoides Riversleighensis, a colossal snake sculpture inspired by Australia’s extinct megafauna. This stunning piece, custom-designed for Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, is an impressive entry display, wrapping itself around a towering cycad tree to greet visitors in the most dramatic way possible.

The Story Behind the Snake

The Montypythonoides Riversleighensis is a species of prehistoric python that once slithered through Australia’s ancient landscapes millions of years ago. It belonged to the megafauna group that roamed the continent during the Pleistocene era, making it a distant relative of today’s snakes—but on a much grander scale. This sculpture captures the essence of this giant reptile, offering a glimpse into a time when Australia was teeming with creatures far larger than those we know today.

A Stunning Entry Display

At Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, the giant snake is more than just a sculpture—it’s a statement. Visitors arriving at the sanctuary are immediately captivated by this lifelike recreation of a massive python, tightly coiled around a tree, as if it had slithered up just moments ago. With its expertly detailed scales and vibrant coloration, the snake looks poised to strike, adding an element of surprise and excitement for guests.

This larger-than-life sculpture is designed to both entertain and educate. It draws attention to Australia’s rich prehistoric history and encourages visitors to learn more about the fascinating creatures that once roamed the land. The Cycad tree that the snake wraps around is a nod to the ancient plant species that existed during the same era, completing the prehistoric theme in a naturalistic display.

Why Choose a Megafauna Sculpture?

Megafauna sculptures like the Montypythonoides Riversleighensis are not just artistic installations—they are powerful tools for storytelling, education, and visitor engagement. These sculptures allow people to interact with history in a tangible way, making them ideal for wildlife sanctuaries, zoos, and even public parks looking to inspire curiosity about nature and conservation.
