1

Tethydraco lived about 66 million years ago, just before the dinosaurs went extinct.1

2

Its name means 'Tethys dragon', after the ancient Tethys Sea that once covered part of Africa.1

3

The only known fossil of Tethydraco is a left upper arm bone, called a humerus.2

4

Scientists think Tethydraco was a pteranodontid, a group of pterosaurs that glided over oceans like modern seabirds.2

5

Tethydraco was about the size of other pteranodontids, with a wingspan around 5 metres.2

6

Its fossils were found in phosphate mines in Morocco, alongside many other marine animals like sharks and mosasaurs.2
