Mimodactylus is the most complete pterosaur ever found from the Afro-Arabian continent, which includes Africa and Arabia.2

Its wingspan was about 1.32 meters (4.3 feet), which is about as wide as a tall adult human's arm span.2

It had 11 cone-shaped teeth in the upper jaw and 10 in the lower jaw, all on the front half of its mouth.2

Mimodactylus lived in a warm sea with many islands, far from any large continent.2

Scientists think it flew like an albatross, gliding low over the water to snatch food.2

ርኽበት: The only known skeleton was found in the Hjoûla Lagerstätte in Lebanon, a famous fossil site for fish and invertebrates. It was bought by an anonymous donor and given to the MIM Museum in Beirut. In 2019, a team led by Alexander Kellner named it Mimodactylus libanensis.2 1
ገና ዘከራኽር: Scientists are not sure whether Mimodactylus ate insects or crustaceans, but most evidence points to crustaceans.2
