Huaxiapterus
Huaxiapterus was a small pterosaur that flew over ancient lakes in China. It had a long, pointed beak like a parrot and probably ate plants and seeds. Some scientists think it may actually be the same as another pterosaur called Sinopterus.13

Prettige feite
Huaxiapterus lived about 121 to 113 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period.3
Its name means 'Chinese wing' in Latin.1
Huaxiapterus is a type of tapejarid pterosaur, a group known for their big head crests and short tails.3
Some scientists think Huaxiapterus might actually be the same animal as Sinopterus, because their fossils are very similar.1
Huaxiapterus had a wingspan of about 1.2 to 1.9 metres (3.9 to 6.2 feet), about as wide as a tall adult human is tall.1

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Huaxiapterus
?How big was Huaxiapterus?
About 1.2 to 1.9 metres (3.9 to 6.2 feet) in wingspan, which is about as wide as a tall adult human is tall. The largest adults weighed about 2.87 kg (6.3 lb).12
?Did Huaxiapterus have teeth?
No, it had a long, pointed beak like a parrot and no teeth.2
?What did Huaxiapterus eat?
It probably ate plants and seeds, based on gut contents found in a similar pterosaur called Sinopterus.2
?Is Huaxiapterus a dinosaur?
No, it is a pterosaur, which is a flying reptile that lived at the same time as dinosaurs but is not a dinosaur.1

It lived about 121 to 113 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous Period.1
Mite-breker
Mite: Huaxiapterus is a valid, distinct genus of pterosaur.
Waarheid: Many scientists now think Huaxiapterus is actually the same as Sinopterus, because the differences between them are probably just due to age or growth.1
