Jeholopterus

Naam beteken: “Jehol wing”1

Jeholopterus was a small flying reptile that lived in what is now China. It had a very short, wide skull like a frog and its wings were attached to its ankles. Scientists think it ate insects and maybe even small fish.2 1

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

Prettige feite

Jeholopterus is one of the most complete anurognathid pterosaurs ever found, with its wing membranes and hair-like fibers preserved as fossils.2

Its skull was wider than it was long, giving it a frog-like face.2

The wing membrane attached to the ankle, and its feet were webbed, which may have helped it swim or walk on soft ground.2

Jeholopterus had a wingspan of about 90 centimeters (3 feet), making it a small to medium-sized pterosaur.2 1

The fossil was found in the Daohugou Beds of Inner Mongolia, which are about 165 to 160 million years old, from the Middle to Late Jurassic.1

Its wing claws were extremely long, about one and a half times the length of its foot claws.2

The hair-like fibers on its body are called pycnofibers, and they are not the same as mammalian hair.2

julle het gevra

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Jeholopterus

?Was Jeholopterus a dinosaur?

No, Jeholopterus was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that is closely related to dinosaurs but not a dinosaur itself.1 3

?How big was Jeholopterus?

Jeholopterus had a wingspan of about 90 centimeters (35 inches), which is about the size of a Mallard Duck.1 3

?What did Jeholopterus eat?

Scientists think Jeholopterus mostly ate insects, but its longer, curved teeth suggest it might also have eaten small fish.1 4

?Did Jeholopterus have feathers?

No, Jeholopterus did not have feathers. It was covered in hair-like fibers called pycnofibers, which are different from mammalian hair.1 3

?Could Jeholopterus swim?

It might have been able to swim. Its feet were webbed and the wing membrane attached to the ankle, which could have helped it move in water.1 4

?When did Jeholopterus live?

Jeholopterus lived during the Middle to Late Jurassic period, about 168 to 160 million years ago.1 5

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Jeholopterus
Benoem deur: Wang et al. 20025
Groep: Vlieënde reptiele
Familie / klade: Anurognathidae5
Klassifikasie: Pterosauria5
Ouderdom van die rotse: 165 tot 162 miljoen jaar (Callovian)5
Rotsformasies: Tiaojishan5
Lande: China5

Ontdekking: Jeholopterus was named in 2002 by Wang Xiaolin, Zhou Zhonghe, and Xu Xing. The only known fossil was found in Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia, China.1 2
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure if Jeholopterus ate only insects or also caught fish, because it had both short peg-like teeth and longer curved teeth.2 1
