Azhdarcho was a flying reptile from the time of dinosaurs. It had a long, stiff neck like a spear. It swooped over rivers and lakes to catch fish with its toothless beak.1 3

Inyani emnandi: iipterosauri zazibhabha phezu kweedayinaso, kodwa zazingabazala bazo, hayi iidayinaso ngokwazo.

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

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

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

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

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

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

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

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Azhdarcho — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Azhdarcho esenokuba wayekhangeleka ngayo, wenziwe yikhompyutha ngokwento eyaziwa zizazinzulu. Kukuqikelela nje: esona silwanyana sinokuba sasikhangeleka ngenye indlela, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo imibala yaso yokwenyani.

ubuzile

Eyona mibuzo ibuzwa kakhulu: Azhdarcho

?How big was Azhdarcho?

Most Azhdarcho individuals had a wingspan of 3 to 4 metres, but some larger remains suggest a wingspan of 5 to 6 metres.1

?What did Azhdarcho eat?

Azhdarcho probably ate small animals and carrion, like a stork or ground hornbill. It may have also caught fish, but newer studies say it walked on land to hunt rather than skimming water.1 2

?Could Azhdarcho fly?

Yes, Azhdarcho was a flying reptile. It had wings and could fly, but one scientist thought it needed calm, mild winds to fly well.1

?Where did Azhdarcho live?

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

?Why is it called Azhdarcho?

The name Azhdarcho comes from a Persian word for a dragon-like monster, because its long neck reminded scientists of a mythical dragon.1

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Azhdarcho was a dinosaur.

Inyaniso: Azhdarcho was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that is not a dinosaur.3

Iqela: Izirhubuluzi ezibhabhayo
Usapho / iclade: Azhdarchidae3
Ukuhlelwa: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea > Azhdarchidae3
Ubudala bamatye: 94 ukuya ku-72 izigidi zeminyaka (Turonian / Campanian)3

Amazwe: iSpeyin, iUzbekistan, iTajikistan3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 4 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Russian paleontologist Lev A. Nesov named Azhdarcho in 1981. He found the fossils in the Kyzyl Kum desert of Uzbekistan during expeditions from 1974 to 1981.1 3
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: 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
