Fakte argëtuese
Pterorhynchus had a head crest made of both bone and soft tissue, which was unusual for long-tailed pterosaurs.12
Its body was covered in hair-like structures called pycnofibers, which may have helped keep it warm.1
The tail of Pterorhynchus was about as long as its wing, and it had a diamond-shaped flap at the end.12
The head crest was so large that scientists think it helped the animal steer while flying, like a rudder.2
The only known fossil is a nearly complete skeleton with preserved skin and other soft parts.1
The crest may have had a camouflage pattern, based on vertical stripes seen at its base.1

?How big was Pterorhynchus?
Pterorhynchus had a wingspan of about 85 centimetres (33 inches) and a skull about 11.8 centimetres (4.6 inches) long.13
?What did Pterorhynchus eat?
Its robust teeth suggest it ate small animals, possibly including fish and insects, though the exact diet is not known for sure.3
?Did Pterorhynchus have feathers?
Pterorhynchus had hair-like pycnofibers covering its body, not feathers. Some scientists think these might be related to dinosaur feathers, but this is debated.1
?Why did Pterorhynchus have a crest?
The crest likely helped with steering during flight, acting like a rudder, and may have had a camouflage pattern.1
