Haliskia was a flying reptile that soared over an ancient inland sea in Australia 100 million years ago. With a wingspan as wide as a car, it used its long, muscular tongue and curved teeth to catch slippery fish and squid. It is the most complete pterosaur skeleton ever found in Australia.1 2

Dintlha tse di monate

Haliskia is 22% complete, more than twice as complete as any other partial pterosaur skeleton from Australia.2

Its hyoid bone (the tongue bone) is 70% as long as its lower jaw, the highest ratio of any pterosaur known. This means Haliskia had a very strong, muscular tongue.1

The fossil was found in 2021 by Kevin Petersen, a museum curator, at a site called Dig Site 3 near Richmond, Queensland.1 2

Haliskia lived during the Albian age, about 106 to 100 million years ago, when much of Queensland was covered by a shallow inland sea.3 1

Its teeth are curved and interlock when the mouth closes, forming a trap that stopped fish from wriggling out.1

Haliskia belongs to a group called Anhangueria, which were pterosaurs with crests on their snouts and teeth that stuck out sideways.1

o botsitse

Dipotso tse di botswang thata ka ga Haliskia

?How big was Haliskia?

About 4.6 metres (15 feet) across the wings, which is about as wide as a small car.1 2

?What did Haliskia eat?

It ate fish and soft-bodied animals like squid (cephalopods). Its curved, interlocking teeth formed a trap to stop slippery prey from escaping.1 2

?Is Haliskia a dinosaur?

No, it is a pterosaur, which is a flying reptile that lived at the same time as dinosaurs but is not a dinosaur.2

?Where was Haliskia found?

It was found in 2021 near Richmond, Queensland, Australia, at a site called Dig Site 3 in the Toolebuc Formation.1 2

Go sa ntse go ganetsanwa: Scientists are not sure whether Haliskia ate only fish or also soft-bodied animals like squid. Its teeth have few wear marks, which could mean it ate soft prey, but its 'fish grab' teeth suggest it caught fish too.1
