Eopteranodon
Eopteranodon was a small, toothless flying reptile that lived during the Early Cretaceous. It had a big crest on its head and a wingspan about as wide as a bicycle is long. It glided over lakes and rivers in ancient China, snapping up fish with its beak.13

Dintlha tse di monate
Eopteranodon had no teeth. Its beak was like a modern bird's, but it was a reptile, not a bird.1
Its skull was less than 200 millimeters long (7.9 inches), smaller than a human hand.1
Eopteranodon belonged to the Tapejaridae family, a group of pterosaurs with big head crests and downturned snouts.12
The first fossil of Eopteranodon was found in 2005 in Liaoning, China, a region famous for many amazing pterosaur and dinosaur fossils.1
A second species, Eopteranodon yixianensis, was named in 2023, but some scientists think it might not be a separate species.12
Eopteranodon lived about 125 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period.2

?How big was Eopteranodon?
It was small. Its wingspan was about 1.1 meters (3.6 feet), as wide as a bicycle is long, and its skull was less than 200 millimeters (7.9 inches) long.1
