Cearadactylus was a big flying reptile that soared over ancient seas about 112 million years ago. It used its long jaws and many teeth to catch slippery fish. Even though it could fly, it was not a dinosaur, but a pterosaur.12

Fakte argëtuese
The first skull found was 57 centimeters long, about as long as a baseball bat.1
Scientists think it had about 16 to 18 teeth in its upper jaw and 11 to 13 in its lower jaw on each side.1
Its name means 'Ceará finger', because pterosaurs have a long wing finger that supports their wings.1
The first fossil was damaged and put together wrong, making the head look upside down. Later, scientists fixed it.1
It lived near the coast and probably flew over the ocean to catch fish.2
Some scientists think Cearadactylus might actually be the same animal as another pterosaur called Brasileodactylus.1
