Elanodactylus was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that lived during the Early Cretaceous. It had long, slim wings like a kite and a wingspan of about 2.5 metres (8.2 feet). It probably flew over lakes and rivers, scooping up fish to eat.1 2

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Elanodactylus had neck vertebrae that looked like those of azhdarchids, the giant pterosaurs from the Late Cretaceous. But scientists think these similar neck bones evolved separately in both groups, a case of convergent evolution.1 2

The first bone in its wing finger was shorter than the second and third bones. This is a unique feature that helps identify Elanodactylus.1

Elanodactylus is the largest known member of its group, the archaeopterodactyloids. Its wingspan was about 2.5 metres (8.2 feet).2

The name Elanodactylus comes from the Greek words for 'kite' and 'finger', because its long, thin wings reminded scientists of a kite bird.1

Elanodactylus lived around 125 to 119 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period. Its fossils were found in the Yixian Formation in China.3 1

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

Igama lenzululwazi: Elanodactylus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Andres and Ji 20083
Iqela: Izirhubuluzi ezibhabhayo
Usapho / iclade: Lophocratia3
Ukuhlelwa: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea3
Ubudala bamatye: 126 ukuya ku-120 izigidi zeminyaka (Barremian / Aptian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: Yixian3
Amazwe: iTshayina3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 2 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Elanodactylus was named in 2008 by Brian Andres and Ji Qiang. The first fossil, a partial skeleton without a skull, was found in the Sihetun Basin in Liaoning, China.1 2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are still debating whether the long neck bones of Elanodactylus evolved for the same reason as in azhdarchids, or if they were used differently.1 2
