Samrukia
Samrukia was a huge flying reptile that lived in what is now Kazakhstan. It had a very long jaw, and scientists first thought it was a giant bird. Now they think it was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that lived at the same time as dinosaurs.1

Samrukia is known only from a single lower jaw bone, which is more than 275 millimetres long.2
When first discovered, scientists thought Samrukia was a giant bird, but later studies showed it was a pterosaur.1
Samrukia lived about 84 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.1
If Samrukia could fly, its wingspan might have been about 4 metres (13 feet). If it was flightless, it might have been 2 to 3 metres (6.6 to 9.8 feet) tall.1
The jaw of Samrukia has no teeth, so it probably had a beak.2
Samrukia is named after Samruk, a magical bird from Kazakh mythology.1
