Кызыктуу фактылар
Harpactognathus is known from only a partial skull and a few other bones, so scientists are still learning about its full appearance.1
It had a crest on the front of its skull that might have been used for display to attract mates or show off to rivals.1
With a wingspan of about 2.5 metres (8.2 feet), Harpactognathus was among the largest non-pterodactyloid pterosaurs.1
Its fossils were found in the Morrison Formation, the same rock layer that contains famous dinosaurs like Stegosaurus and Diplodocus.1
Unlike many other pterosaurs that ate fish, Harpactognathus probably hunted small animals on land near rivers and lakes.1
The name Harpactognathus comes from Greek words meaning 'seizing jaw', which describes its strong, grabbing beak.1
