Cearadactylus

Igama lithetha: “Ceará finger, from the Brazilian state Ceará and Greek daktylos, finger”1

Yayitya: IintlanziIzirhubuluzi ezibhabhayoiCretaceous yokuqalaNgokwenene ayisiyo dayinaso

Cearadactylus was a big flying reptile that soared over ancient seas about 112 million years ago. It used its long jaws and many teeth to catch slippery fish. Even though it could fly, it was not a dinosaur, but a pterosaur.1 2

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

The first skull found was 57 centimeters long, about as long as a baseball bat.1

Scientists think it had about 16 to 18 teeth in its upper jaw and 11 to 13 in its lower jaw on each side.1

Its name means 'Ceará finger', because pterosaurs have a long wing finger that supports their wings.1

The first fossil was damaged and put together wrong, making the head look upside down. Later, scientists fixed it.1

It lived near the coast and probably flew over the ocean to catch fish.2

Some scientists think Cearadactylus might actually be the same animal as another pterosaur called Brasileodactylus.1

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Cearadactylus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Cearadactylus 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: Cearadactylus

?How big was Cearadactylus?

Its wingspan was about 4 meters (13 ft), and it weighed maybe 15 kilograms (33 lb). Another scientist estimated a wingspan of 5.5 meters (18 ft).1

?What did Cearadactylus eat?

It ate fish. Its long jaws and interlocking teeth helped it keep hold of slippery fish.1

?Did Cearadactylus have a crest?

Yes, after the fossil was fixed, scientists saw a crest on its snout.1

?When did Cearadactylus live?

It lived about 112 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period.1

?Was Cearadactylus a dinosaur?

No, it was a pterosaur, a flying reptile, not a dinosaur.1

?Is Cearadactylus the same as Brasileodactylus?

Some scientists think so. A 2025 study found Cearadactylus might actually be the same animal as Brasileodactylus.1

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: People sometimes think Cearadactylus was a dinosaur.

Inyaniso: It was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that is a close cousin of dinosaurs, but not a dinosaur.1

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Cearadactylus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Leonardi and Borgomanero 19852
Iqela: Izirhubuluzi ezibhabhayo
Usapho / iclade: Ornithocheiroidea2
Ukuhlelwa: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea2
Ubudala bamatye: 120 ukuya ku-113 izigidi zeminyaka (Aptian)2
Izakhiwo zamatye: Romualdo2
Amazwe: iBrazil2
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database2
Ukufunyanwa: It was named in 1985 by Giuseppe Leonardi and Guido Borgomanero from a skull found in Brazil. The fossil was traded to Italy and bought by Borgomanero for his collection.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists still debate exactly how it is related to other pterosaurs, and some think it might be the same as Brasileodactylus.1
