Fatgs divertents
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
