Sinopterus
Sinopterus was a flying reptile with a big, toothless beak like a parrot. It lived in China during the Early Cretaceous, about 120 million years ago, and probably ate plants and seeds.13

Prettige feite
Sinopterus had a long, bony crest on top of its skull that pointed backward like a spike.1
Its beak had no teeth, similar to modern birds and some other pterosaurs.1
Scientists found tiny plant fossils (phytoliths) in the stomach of a Sinopterus, proving it ate plants.1
Sinopterus also swallowed small stones (gastroliths) to help grind up tough plant food in its gizzard.1
It was one of the first tapejarid pterosaurs found outside Brazil, showing these flying reptiles lived in many places.1
The largest Sinopterus had a wingspan of about 1.9 metres (6.2 feet) and weighed around 2.9 kilograms (6.3 pounds).1
Many scientists now think that only one species of Sinopterus is valid: Sinopterus dongi.2

The long bony crest on its skull may have been used for display, such as attracting mates or recognizing other members of its species. Scientists are not completely sure.1
Mite-breker
Mite: Some people think Sinopterus ate fish or insects like many other pterosaurs.
