Volgadraco is known from only a lower beak and a few other bone fragments found in the Rybushka Formation of Russia.1
Its name means 'Volga dragon', because it was discovered near the Volga River in Russia.1
Scientists do not agree on which family Volgadraco belongs to. Some think it is an azhdarchid, others a nyctosaurid, and some say a pteranodontid.1
Volgadraco lived in the Campanian age, about 83 to 72 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous.4
The size of its beak and blood supply show that Volgadraco was intermediate between older and younger pterosaurs like Azhdarcho and Quetzalcoatlus.1
Only two fossils of Volgadraco have been found, both in the same area of Russia.4
Volgadraco was an aerial animal that could fly and was actively mobile.2
