Kaiwhekea

Kaiwhekea is a medium-sized aquatic carnivore. It is a plesiosaur with startling agility, capable of darting in and out of danger at a moment's notice.

Although it is slightly slower than the Eurhinosaurus, it can withstand being beached for longer.

Description

Kaiwhekea posseses a flexible neck that ends in a rounded, hydrodynamic head. Four broad flippers help it to propel itself through the water, while its tail acts as a rudder.

Paleo Info

Kaiwhekea is an extinct genus of plesiosaur from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian age) of what is now New Zealand. Kaiwhekea belongs to the clade Aristonectinae inside the family Elasmosauridae.

Trivia

• It was a part of the final stretch goal, worth $400K AUD ~ $270K USD
• Kaiwhekea was the first fully aquatic playable released in Path of Titans, along with the first flying playable and island map, Gondwa.
• Originally, the plesiosaur was going to be Woolungasaurus, which lived in the Wallumbilla Formation of Queensland, Australia during the Albian (Early Cretaceous) period. It was changed to Kaiwhekea due to Woolungosaurus being an invalid genus, lumped into Styxosaurus.
