Huaxiapterus

Naam beteken: “Chinese wing”1
Het geëet: PlanteVlieënde reptieleVroeë KrytTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

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

3

Huaxiapterus is a type of tapejarid pterosaur, a group known for their big head crests and short tails.3

4

Some scientists think Huaxiapterus might actually be the same animal as Sinopterus, because their fossils are very similar.1

julle het gevra

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

?When did Huaxiapterus live?

It lived about 121 to 113 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous Period.1

?Could Huaxiapterus fly?

Yes, it was a flying reptile with a wingspan of up to 1.9 metres (6.2 ft).12

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

Ontdekking
Huaxiapterus was named by Chinese paleontologists Lü Junchang and Yuan Chongxi in 2005. The first fossils were found in the Jiufotang Formation in Liaoning, China.31
Steeds omstrede
Scientists are not sure if Huaxiapterus is really a separate genus from Sinopterus, or if all the different species named are just one or two species that changed as they grew.1
