1

Azhdarcho could not turn its neck at all. It could only bend it up and down a little.1

2

The name Azhdarcho comes from a Persian word for a dragon-like monster.1

3

This pterosaur belonged to the same family as Quetzalcoatlus, one of the largest flying animals ever.1

4

Scientists once thought Azhdarcho skimmed the water for food like a modern skimmer bird, but newer studies suggest it walked on land and hunted like a stork.1

5

Most Azhdarcho fossils are just neck bones. The first one found was a single vertebra from the Kyzyl Kum desert.1

6

Azhdarcho lived about 92 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous Period.1

Azhdarcho lived in what is now Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and possibly Tajikistan, about 92 million years ago.1

?Is Azhdarcho a dinosaur?

No, Azhdarcho is a pterosaur, a flying reptile that lived during the time of dinosaurs but is not a dinosaur.1

Scientists still debate exactly how Azhdarcho and other azhdarchid pterosaurs hunted. Some think they skimmed water, others think they walked on land and grabbed prey like storks.1
