Vesperopterylus was a tiny pterosaur that lived in the trees. It had a reversed first toe that helped it grip branches, like a bird perching. It was one of the youngest anurognathid pterosaurs ever found.1

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

Ebyewuunyisa

Vesperopterylus had a reversed first toe, which is the first time such a feature has been seen in a pterosaur. This toe helped it perch on branches.1

It is the first anurognathid pterosaur from China with a definitely short tail.1

Vesperopterylus lived during the Early Cretaceous, about 121 to 113 million years ago.3

Its name means 'evening wing', referring to its likely crepuscular or nocturnal habits.3

The reversed first toe of Vesperopterylus suggests it spent much of its time in trees, an unusual lifestyle for a pterosaur.1

Ekifaananyi kya Vesperopterylus 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.
