Quick Summary:

Aloft over the landscape of Bavaria some 147 million years ago was a pterosaur - an ancient flying reptile - with a wing span of about 7 feet (2 meters), a bony crest on front of its snout and a mouthful of sharp teeth, searching for a lizard or another nice morsel to eat.

A life restoration of two individuals of the newly identified Jurassic Period pterosaur species Skiphosoura bavarica are pictured in flight, in this illustration released on November 18, 2024.

"Through the happenstance of an asteroid hitting Earth 66 million years ago, pterosaurs were removed from these roles forever".
