Ikrandraco
Ikrandraco was a flying reptile that lived about 120 million years ago. It had a long, low skull and a sharp blade-like crest on its lower jaw, unlike any other pterosaur. Scientists think it skimmed over lakes to catch fish, maybe even using a throat pouch like a pelican.2

Datos curiosos
Ikrandraco's lower jaw had a deep, blade-like crest with a hook at the back. No other pterosaur has this feature.2
Its skull was very low and long, only about 18.7% as tall as it was long.2
Ikrandraco lived alongside other fish-eating pterosaurs like Liaoningopterus and Guidraco, but they had different teeth and hunting styles.2
The name Ikrandraco comes from the fictional 'ikran' creatures in the movie Avatar, which also have a head crest.1
Two fossils of Ikrandraco have been found, both from the same rock formation in China.2
