Bellubrunnus was a small flying reptile that lived about 150 million years ago in what is now Germany. It had a short tail and its wingtips curved forward, which is different from any other pterosaur. Scientists think it might have flown in a unique way.1

Bellubrunnus is known from only one fossil, a complete skeleton of a young juvenile.1

Unlike all other known pterosaurs, the wingtips of Bellubrunnus curve forward instead of backward.1

Bellubrunnus had 22 or fewer teeth in total, fewer than its close relative Rhamphorhynchus.1

Its tail was short and did not have the long bony rods that other similar pterosaurs had.1

The fossil was found in 2002 by Monika Rothgaenger, and the species is named after her.1

Bellubrunnus lived in a warm lagoon surrounded by coral reefs, about 150 million years ago.1

The name Bellubrunnus means 'beautiful one of Brunn', after the village where it was found.1

?How big was Bellubrunnus?

Bellubrunnus was very small, with a wingspan of less than 30 cm (about a foot). It is one of the smallest pterosaur fossils known.3

?What did Bellubrunnus eat?

Scientists are not certain, but its pointed teeth suggest it ate small animals like insects or fish. The fossil does not show any stomach contents.3

?Is Bellubrunnus a dinosaur?

No, Bellubrunnus is a pterosaur, a flying reptile that lived at the same time as dinosaurs. Pterosaurs are not dinosaurs.3

Wɔda so gye ho akyinnye: Scientists are not sure how Bellubrunnus flew with its forward-curved wingtips, since no other pterosaur has that feature.1
