Ludodactylus means 'play finger' because it looked like toy pterosaurs that had both teeth and a head crest, which real scientists thought didn't exist until this fossil was found.1
Its skull was more than 66 centimeters (26 inches) long.1
The only known fossil is a skull with a yucca leaf stuck between its lower jaws. Scientists think the pterosaur got the leaf caught in its beak and maybe died from starvation.1
Ludodactylus had a crest on the back of its skull but no crest on its snout, unlike many other pterosaurs.1
The species name L. sibbicki honors paleoartist John Sibbick.1

Seenaa sobaa diigaa
Seenaa sobaa: Some people think Ludodactylus is the same as Brasileodactylus.
Dhugaa: Scientists now agree Ludodactylus is a different genus, closely related to anhanguerid pterosaurs like Caulkicephalus.1

- Ludodactylus was named by Eberhard Frey and colleagues in 2003 based on a skull found in the Crato Formation of Brazil. The fossil was illegally sold and missing part of the head crest.14

- Scientists still debate whether Ludodactylus belongs to the family Anhangueridae or is just outside it, because different studies place it in slightly different groups.1
