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.21

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.21
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

?Was Jeholopterus a dinosaur?
No, Jeholopterus was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that is closely related to dinosaurs but not a dinosaur itself.13
?How big was Jeholopterus?
Jeholopterus had a wingspan of about 90 centimeters (35 inches), which is about the size of a Mallard Duck.13
?What did Jeholopterus eat?
Scientists think Jeholopterus mostly ate insects, but its longer, curved teeth suggest it might also have eaten small fish.14
?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.13
