Thanatosdrakon is the largest pterosaur ever found in South America, with a wingspan of about 9 metres (30 feet) for the bigger specimen.1
It lived about 89 to 83 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.2
Its bones were found in floodplain deposits, showing that it lived near rivers and lakes, not just near the sea.1
Scientists found two skeletons, one smaller and one larger, which helped them estimate the size range of this species.1
Thanatosdrakon had a unique combination of bones, including a special shape in its wing bones that helps identify it as an azhdarchid pterosaur.1
It is the oldest known member of the group Quetzalcoatlinae, which includes some of the largest flying reptiles ever.1

?Where was Thanatosdrakon found?
Its fossils were found in the Plottier Formation of Mendoza Province, Argentina, in the Andes Mountains.3
?Is Thanatosdrakon a dinosaur?
No, Thanatosdrakon is a pterosaur, which is a flying reptile that lived at the same time as dinosaurs but is not a dinosaur itself.3
