Dearc
Dearc was a flying reptile that lived in the Middle Jurassic, about 167 million years ago. It was one of the biggest flying animals of its time, with wings as wide as a small car! It soared over the lagoons of what is now Scotland.1

ເລື່ອງໜ້າຮູ້ມ່ວນໆ
Dearc was not fully grown when it died. It was a juvenile or subadult, still actively growing, so adults might have been even bigger.13
Its wingspan was about 2.5 to 3 metres (8 to 10 feet), as wide as a wandering albatross, the largest flying bird today.1
Before Dearc was discovered, scientists thought pterosaurs stayed small until the Cretaceous period. Dearc shows they got big much earlier.13
The fossil was found at Brothers' Point on the Isle of Skye in 2017, during a National Geographic-funded field trip.1
Its name comes from Scottish Gaelic and means both 'winged reptile' and 'reptile from Skye', because Skye is called the 'winged isle'.1
Dearc had a long, low skull and a slender upper arm bone, which helped it fly.1
