Fakte argëtuese
Anurognathus had a very short tail, unlike most early pterosaurs. This made it more maneuverable when hunting insects.1
Its skull was wider than it was long, and its eyes were huge. This helped it see well in dim light.12
Anurognathus weighed only about 40 grams (1.4 ounces), as light as a small bird.1
Scientists think Anurognathus had bristles around its mouth, like a fringe, to help catch insects.12
Only two fossils of Anurognathus have been found, both in Germany. One is a juvenile.1
