Utuntu dushimishije
Azhdarcho could not turn its neck at all. It could only bend it up and down a little.1
The name Azhdarcho comes from a Persian word for a dragon-like monster.1
This pterosaur belonged to the same family as Quetzalcoatlus, one of the largest flying animals ever.1
Scientists once thought Azhdarcho skimmed the water for food like a modern skimmer bird, but newer studies suggest it walked on land and hunted like a stork.1
Most Azhdarcho fossils are just neck bones. The first one found was a single vertebra from the Kyzyl Kum desert.1
Azhdarcho lived about 92 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous Period.1
