Simurghia was a big flying reptile that lived near the end of the age of dinosaurs. It had a wingspan as wide as a small car and probably soared over the ocean hunting for fish.1

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

Prettige feite

Simurghia was named in 2018 along with two other pterosaurs from the same area: Alcione and Barbaridactylus.1

Its name comes from the Simurgh, a giant bird-like creature in Persian myths.1

Simurghia lived about 66 million years ago, just before the big extinction that killed the dinosaurs.1

All known fossils of Simurghia were found during a three-year dig that uncovered about 200 pterosaur specimens.1

Simurghia was much bigger than its close relative Alcione, weighing about 560 percent more.1

The type specimen is just a single upper arm bone (humerus), but it is enough to tell this was a distinct species.1

KI-prent van Simurghia — 'n KI-prent van hoe Simurghia 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.
