1

Epapatelo is known from only a few bones: a partial upper arm bone and two forearm bones from two different individuals.1

2

It lived about 71 to 72 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.1

3

Epapatelo belonged to a group of pterosaurs called pteranodontians, which were large, toothless flying reptiles.1

4

The fossils were found in marine rocks, showing that Epapatelo lived near the sea and probably died in the water.1

5

Epapatelo is one of the few pterosaurs ever found in Africa from the very end of the dinosaur age.1

Mafunso ofunsidwa kwambiri okhudza Epapatelo

?How big was Epapatelo?

About 4.8 to 5.6 metres (16 to 18 feet) across the wings, based on the two known individuals. Some other bones found in Angola suggest an even larger size.2

?What did Epapatelo eat?

It ate fish. Epapatelo was a piscivore that dove into the ocean to catch its food, much like a modern seabird.1

?When did Epapatelo live?

It lived about 71 to 72 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.2

?Where was Epapatelo found?

In Angola, near the coast of Namibe Province. The fossils were discovered in marine rocks at a site called Bentiaba.2

Scientists are not sure how big Epapatelo was, because only a few arm bones have been found.1
