Zvinonakidza
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

Yes, Azhdarcho was a flying reptile. It had wings and could fly, but one scientist thought it needed calm, mild winds to fly well.1
?Where did Azhdarcho live?
Azhdarcho lived in what is now Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and possibly Tajikistan, about 92 million years ago.1
?Is Azhdarcho a dinosaur?
No, Azhdarcho is a pterosaur, a flying reptile that lived during the time of dinosaurs but is not a dinosaur.1
?Why is it called Azhdarcho?
The name Azhdarcho comes from a Persian word for a dragon-like monster, because its long neck reminded scientists of a mythical dragon.1
