Basilosaurus (anamatronic)

Basilosaurus isis (bah-SILL-uh-sawr-us) Cope, 1868

Basilosaurus ("King Lizard") is a genus of cetacean that lived from 40 to 34 million years ago in the Eocene. Its fossilized remains were first discovered in the southern United States (Louisiana), and were initially believed to be some sort of reptilian sea monster; hence the suffix "saurus", but later it was found that wasn't the case. Basilosaurus averaged about 18 meters (60 ft) in length, and is believed to have been the largest animal to have lived in its time.

The creature is pneumatic and has 12 separate motions.  It is 22 feet long, 7 feet wide and 8 feet tall and mounted on a base which is 18 feet long and 5 feet wide. The creature has a steel armature and the skin is made from urethane overlaid on a fiberglass shell.
