Banguela
Banguela was a flying reptile that lived about 115 million years ago. It had no teeth, so it probably scooped up fish with its beak. It was not a dinosaur, but a pterosaur, a cousin of dinosaurs.14

Fakte argëtuese
Banguela's lower jaw, called a symphysis, was about 27 centimeters (10.7 inches) long and curved upward. The front edges were sharp, but it had no teeth or tooth sockets.1
Its skull was about 61 centimeters (2 feet) long, and its wingspan was over 3.7 meters (12 feet).1
Banguela is one of the few pterosaurs that completely lost its teeth. Scientists think tooth loss happened at least four separate times among pterosaurs.1
The fossil was first thought to belong to another pterosaur called Thalassodromeus, but in 2015 scientists gave it its own name, Banguela.1
Banguela's toothless beak might have had a horny covering, like a bird's beak, which helped it catch slippery fish.1

- A Swiss collector named Urs Oberli bought a jaw fragment from Brazil. In 2005, scientists first described it as Thalassodromeus, but in 2015, Jaime Headden and Hebert Campos named it Banguela oberlii, honoring Oberli.1
