Забавни факти
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

- The first Dearc fossil was discovered on May 23, 2017, at Brothers' Point on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, by a team led by Stephen Brusatte. It was named Dearc sgiathanach by Jagielska and colleagues in 2022.1
- Сè уште се дебатира
- Scientists are not sure exactly how big Dearc could grow, because the only known fossil is from a young animal that was still growing.1
