Thalassodromeus was a huge flying reptile with a giant, bony crest on its head. It lived about 110 million years ago in what is now Brazil. Scientists think it may have skimmed over water to catch fish, like a modern skimmer bird.21

Utuntu dushimishije
The skull of Thalassodromeus was huge, measuring 1.42 metres (4.7 feet) long, including its crest.1
Its crest was well supplied with blood vessels, which may have helped control body temperature or been used for display.21
Thalassodromeus had strong jaw muscles and could probably kill and eat relatively large prey on the ground.2
The first fossil of Thalassodromeus was collected in 1983 near the town of Santana do Cariri in Brazil.1
Thalassodromeus lived alongside many other pterosaurs, dinosaurs, and fish in a tropical lagoon environment.2
Its name comes from Greek words meaning 'sea runner', because scientists first thought it skimmed the ocean for food.1
