"This authentic scale design is first class and is a unique opportunity to add this dinosaur 'Australotitan cooperensis' to your collection," Jacobsen writes in the ad.

The Australotitan cooperensis is an extinct sauropod that existed almost a hundred million years ago in what is now southern-central Queensland.

Jacobsen describes the sauropod as a "signature member of the family of dinosaurs known as Titanosaurus", which were the last sauropods to roam the earth before the K-T Extinction 65 million years ago.

If you're keen to take the giant home but are wondering how one travels with an almost 20-metre-long dinosaur replica, Jacobsen has you covered.
