Uktenadactylus is known from only a few snout fragments, so scientists are still guessing its full size.1

The name Uktenadactylus comes from the Uktena, a giant horned snake in Cherokee legends, and the Greek word for finger.1

Its snout had a crest that curved upward and was about 7.5 centimetres (3 inches) tall at its highest point.1

The third pair of teeth in its upper jaw were the biggest, each about 1.8 centimetres (0.7 inches) wide.1

Uktenadactylus lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 125 to 100 million years ago.4

It belonged to a group of pterosaurs called anhanguerids, which had long, toothed jaws and often fished near coasts.1

ርኽበት: The first fossil, a partial snout, was found in 1992 in Tarrant County, Texas, by Chris Wadleigh. In 1994, Yuong Nam-Lee named it Coloborhynchus wadleighi. In 2009, Brazilian paleontologists Taissa Rodrigues and Alexander Kellner gave it its own genus, Uktenadactylus.1
ገና ዘከራኽር: Scientists are not sure how big Uktenadactylus was, because only pieces of its snout have been found.1
