Does it work well as a back scratcher?

Well, probably not very well I would assume. Though, the dinosaurs/models with protruding scales on their backs or tails might be more helpful for this ridiculous task. Then, again, even knowing you're not serious, in a hypothetical sense I believe it would be fatuous to spend for some models, $60+, for a back scratcher, hehe. But, by all means, go for it! Though, hammering a bunch of rusty nails through something like a suitably cut 2x4 might give you what you want as well. And you would possibly get tetanus to boot 👍🏻😁.

Can it go in the water?

While you can submerge this product, the paint and detailing will eventually come off. It is painted plastic.

Can this come off the stand?

The stand is very poorly matched in terms of appearance and stability. The shark simply sits atop the stand, is not attached, and can be displayed separately. However, the shark tilts onto its left pectoral fin when placed on a flat surface (because tail weight is offset to the left) and it looks very awkward in this position. I used a clear acrylic disk (half inch high) beneath the head to support the shark off of its round belly and to prevent tilting. There are many creative ways of supporting the shark but the stand that it comes with is junk. Would add that the shark itself is an awesome Meg replica and not just another Great White look-alike.

What is the scale of Basilosaurus @ 20" ?

Id say it falls in between 1:35-1:40 scale. Basilosaurus size estimates ranged between 60-65ft on average.
