Thalassodromeus
Thalassodromeus was a huge flying reptile with a giant, bony crest on its head. It lived about 110 million years ago in what is now Brazil. Scientists think it may have skimmed over water to catch fish, like a modern skimmer bird.21

Mfundo zosangalatsa
The skull of Thalassodromeus was huge, measuring 1.42 metres (4.7 feet) long, including its crest.1
Its crest was well supplied with blood vessels, which may have helped control body temperature or been used for display.21
Thalassodromeus had strong jaw muscles and could probably kill and eat relatively large prey on the ground.2
The first fossil of Thalassodromeus was collected in 1983 near the town of Santana do Cariri in Brazil.1
Thalassodromeus lived alongside many other pterosaurs, dinosaurs, and fish in a tropical lagoon environment.2
Its name comes from Greek words meaning 'sea runner', because scientists first thought it skimmed the ocean for food.1

?How big was Thalassodromeus?
Thalassodromeus had a skull about 1.42 metres long and a wingspan of 4.2 to 4.5 metres.2
?What did Thalassodromeus eat?
Scientists think Thalassodromeus may have skimmed over water to catch fish, like a modern skimmer bird. It also had strong jaws and could probably kill and eat large prey on the ground.21
?Why did Thalassodromeus have a crest?
The crest likely helped control body temperature by releasing heat, and it was also used for display to attract mates or recognize other members of its species.21
?Was Thalassodromeus a dinosaur?
No, Thalassodromeus was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that lived during the time of dinosaurs but was not a dinosaur.2
?When did Thalassodromeus live?
Thalassodromeus lived about a hundred million years ago during the Early Cretaceous period.2
?What does Thalassodromeus mean?
Its name means 'sea runner' in Greek, because scientists first thought it skimmed the ocean for food.2
