Phosphatodraco was a flying reptile that lived right at the end of the Age of Dinosaurs. It had a long, stiff neck and probably hunted for fish or small animals on land. This pterosaur is one of the last known flying reptiles before the big extinction 66 million years ago.1

1

Phosphatodraco is known from five neck vertebrae and a few other bones, all found together in a phosphate mine.1

2

It was the first Late Cretaceous pterosaur ever discovered in North Africa.1

3

Its neck was long and stiff, which may have helped it hunt on land like a stork or ground hornbill.1

4

Phosphatodraco lived about 66 million years ago, right before the mass extinction that killed off all non-bird dinosaurs and many pterosaurs.1

5

The fossils were found in a layer of phosphate rock, which is why its name means 'dragon from the phosphates'.1

6

Scientists think Phosphatodraco was an azhdarchid, a group of pterosaurs that often had very long necks and walked on all fours.1

?How big was Phosphatodraco?

Its wingspan was about 5 metres (16 feet) according to one interpretation, or about 4 metres (13 feet) according to another. Scientists disagree because the bones are incomplete.1

?What did Phosphatodraco eat?

It probably ate fish, but some scientists think it also hunted small animals on land, like a stork. The debate is still going on.14

?How long was Phosphatodraco's neck?

Its complete neck may have been about 865 millimetres (0.86 metres) long. That is based on the five neck vertebrae that were found.1

Mosenyi wa ditshomo

Tshomo: Some people think pterosaurs like Phosphatodraco were dinosaurs.

Nnete: Pterosaurs were flying reptiles, not dinosaurs. They are a separate group of animals that lived at the same time as dinosaurs.1
