Afrotapejara was a flying reptile that lived in what is now Morocco. It had a downturned beak and no teeth, just like a modern bird. Scientists think it might have eaten fruit.1 4

Utuntu dushimishije

Afrotapejara is the first tapejarid pterosaur ever found in Africa.1 2

Its name means 'African Tapejara', because it comes from Africa and looks like the Brazilian pterosaur Tapejara.1

Afrotapejara had a downturned beak and no teeth, which is unusual for pterosaurs.1

It lived during the mid-Cretaceous period, about 106 to 94 million years ago.4

Only a partial jaw bone (the front part of the upper beak) has been found so far.1

The Kem Kem beds in Morocco, where Afrotapejara was found, are famous for many other pterosaurs and dinosaurs.1

Ishusho ya Afrotapejara yakozwe na AI — Ishusho yakozwe na AI yerekana uko Afrotapejara ishobora kuba yari isa, yakozwe na mudasobwa hashingiwe ku byo abahanga bazi. Ni ugukeka gusa: inyamaswa nyayo ishobora kuba yari isa ukundi, kandi nta muntu uzi amabara yayo nyayo.
