Caviramus

Naam beteken: “hollow branch of the lower jaw”1

Het geëet: VisVlieënde reptieleLaat TriasTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Caviramus was a small flying reptile that lived about 205 million years ago, during the Late Triassic. It had a lightweight, hollow jaw and sharp teeth for catching fish. Caviramus is not a dinosaur, but a pterosaur, a close relative of dinosaurs.3 1

Prettige feit: pterosourusse het oor die dinosourusse gevlieg, maar hulle was hul neefs, nie self dinosourusse nie.

Prettige feite

Caviramus had a jaw that was hollow and filled with air spaces, making it very light.1

Its teeth had multiple cusps, like little bumps, and were different in the front and back of the mouth.1

The only known fossil of Caviramus is a piece of the lower jaw, found in Switzerland.1

Caviramus lived in a shallow sea or lagoon, alongside sharks, fish, and other marine reptiles.1

Its wingspan was about 135 centimeters, which is a little over four feet.2

Some scientists think Caviramus might have searched for food on the ground, because its legs were long.2

KI-prent van Caviramus — 'n KI-prent van hoe Caviramus dalk gelyk het, deur 'n rekenaar gemaak uit wat wetenskaplikes weet. Dit is 'n raaiskoot: die regte dier het dalk anders gelyk, en niemand weet wat sy regte kleure was nie.

julle het gevra

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Caviramus

?What did Caviramus eat?

It may have eaten fish, but its teeth were also good for chewing plants, so it might have been an omnivore or herbivore.2 3

?How big was Caviramus?

Caviramus had a wingspan of about 135 centimeters (53 inches).2

?Did Caviramus have a crest?

Yes, a related specimen called Raeticodactylus had a tall thin bony crest on the front of its upper jaw and a keel on the lower jaw.2

?Could Caviramus fly?

Yes, it was a pterosaur with wings that were good for soaring, and it could probably fly.2
