Tupuxuara was a flying reptile with a huge, bony crest on its head. It soared over ancient Brazil about 112 million years ago, using its long wings and toothless beak to hunt for fish.1 2

Utuntu dushimishije

Tupuxuara had a huge crest on its head made of bone. The crest was bigger in older animals, so scientists think it was used to show off to mates.1

Its wings were very long compared to its body weight. This helped it fly well and cover long distances.1

Tupuxuara lived about 112 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous period.1

The first fossils of Tupuxuara were a snout and some wing bones. They were found in Brazil.1

There are two main species: Tupuxuara longicristatus, which had a long crest, and Tupuxuara leonardii, which had a more rounded crest.1

A third species, Tupuxuara deliradamus, was named in 2009 but many scientists now think it is not a valid species.1

Tupuxuara was a close relative of Thalassodromeus, another large pterosaur from Brazil.1

By studying its eye bones, scientists think Tupuxuara was active during the day.1

Ibibazo bibazwa cyane kuri Tupuxuara

?How big was Tupuxuara?

?Did Tupuxuara have teeth?

No, Tupuxuara had a toothless beak, like many other pterosaurs from its group.1

?Why did Tupuxuara have a crest?

The large bony crest on its head was probably used to show off to mates, since it grew bigger as the animal got older. It was a sign of sexual maturity.1

?When did Tupuxuara live?

Tupuxuara lived about 112 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period.1

?Is Tupuxuara a dinosaur?
