Fatgs divertents

Caviramus had a jaw that was hollow and filled with air spaces, making it very light.1

Its teeth had multiple cusps, like little bumps, and were different in the front and back of the mouth.1

The only known fossil of Caviramus is a piece of the lower jaw, found in Switzerland.1

Caviramus lived in a shallow sea or lagoon, alongside sharks, fish, and other marine reptiles.1

Its wingspan was about 135 centimeters, which is a little over four feet.2

Some scientists think Caviramus might have searched for food on the ground, because its legs were long.2
