Mimodactylus is the most complete pterosaur ever found from the Afro-Arabian continent, which includes Africa and Arabia.2
Its wingspan was about 1.32 meters (4.3 feet), which is about as wide as a tall adult human's arm span.2
It had 11 cone-shaped teeth in the upper jaw and 10 in the lower jaw, all on the front half of its mouth.2
Mimodactylus lived in a warm sea with many islands, far from any large continent.2
Scientists think it flew like an albatross, gliding low over the water to snatch food.2
