Wightia was a flying reptile that lived about 127 million years ago. It had a long, pointed beak that curved downward, which helped it eat fruits. This pterosaur was one of the first tapejarids ever found in the United Kingdom.13

Wightia is known from only a partial upper jaw bone, called a premaxilla.1
Its beak had a unique downward curve, which is a key feature of tapejarid pterosaurs.1
Wightia lived during the Barremian age of the Early Cretaceous, about 127 million years ago.1
This pterosaur was a frugivore, meaning it ate fruits, which is rare for flying reptiles.3
Wightia is the first tapejarid pterosaur ever found in the United Kingdom.1
The fossil was found on a wave-cut platform at Yaverland on the Isle of Wight.1
