Earlier this week Eofauna teased something new for early next year with a partially redacted photograph. It was clearly a fifth proboscidean, but we wondered which one could it be? An American mastodon? A gomphothere of some sort? Or perhaps even a dwarf mammoth?

Schleich’s 2025 prehistoric assortment will include their first ever Carcharodontosaurus. They did a fairly decent job with the head; you can immediately tell it’s the shark-toothed lizard. This is probably the best out of the four.
There’s also a new Dilophosaurus, but it frankly looks like a step down from the previous version.

Behold the painted prototype of Creative Beast/Eons’ Prehistoric Elephants Moeritherium!
