Tacuadactylus was a flying reptile that lived about 150 million years ago. It had a long snout with many small teeth, perfect for scooping up fish. It was one of the first pterosaurs ever found in Uruguay!1

Ekyewuunyisa: pterosawulu zaabuukanga waggulu wa dayinoso, naye zaali ab'oluganda lwazo, so si dayinoso zennyini.

Ebyewuunyisa

1

Tacuadactylus was first mistaken for a sawfish! In 2016, scientists thought the snout belonged to an ancient fish, but a CAT scan showed it was actually a pterosaur.1

2

Its teeth were not straight up and down. They pointed forward and to the sides, which is unusual.2

3

Tacuadactylus had about 1.58 to 2 teeth per centimeter of jaw, making it a very toothy creature.2

4

It was the oldest known ctenochasmatid pterosaur from South America when it was named in 2021.1

5

The name 'luciae' honors the daughter of one of the scientists who described it.1

6

Tacuadactylus lived during the Late Jurassic, about 152 to 145 million years ago.1

Kyakolebwa AIEkifaananyi kya Tacuadactylus ekyakolebwa AI
Ekifaananyi kya Tacuadactylus ekyakolebwa AI, nga kiraga engeri gye yayinza okuba ng'afaanana, ekyakolebwa kompyuta okusinziira ku ebyo bannassaayansi bye bamanyi. Kuteebereza: ekisolo ekyennyini kiyinza okuba nga kyali kifaanana bulala, era tewali amanyi langi zaakyo ez'amazima.

Omumenyi w'enfumo

Enfumo: Some people might think Tacuadactylus was a dinosaur because it lived long ago and had wings.

Amazima: Tacuadactylus was a pterosaur, a flying reptile, not a dinosaur. Pterosaurs are a separate group of reptiles.1

Okuzuulibwa
The first fossil, a snout, was found near Batoví in Uruguay and was initially reported as a sawfish in 2016. In 2021, scientists named it Tacuadactylus luciae after studying it more closely.1
Kikyakubaganyizibwako ebirowoozo
Scientists are still debating exactly how Tacuadactylus used its spoon-shaped snout and many teeth to feed.2
