Gallodactylus was a flying reptile that lived near the sea. It had a long beak and probably scooped up fish for dinner. It was not a dinosaur, but a pterosaur.3

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

Iinyani ezimnandi

Gallodactylus lived about 149 to 145 million years ago, during the Late Jurassic period.1

Its name means 'rooster finger', because scientists thought its wing finger looked like a rooster's toe.3

Only one species is known: Gallodactylus canjuersensis.1

The only fossil of Gallodactylus is a partial skeleton found in a limestone quarry in France.1

Some scientists think Gallodactylus might actually be the same animal as Cycnorhamphus.1

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

?How big was Gallodactylus?

No exact size is given in the sources, but it was a medium sized pterosaur with a wingspan estimated at about 1.5 metres (5 feet).2 3

?Did Gallodactylus have teeth?

Yes, it had peg-like teeth at the tips of its jaws, which were blunter and stouter in older individuals.2

?What did Gallodactylus eat?

It was a piscivore, meaning it ate fish, and may also have used its unusual jaws to crush hard invertebrates like mollusks.3 2

?Is Gallodactylus the same as Cycnorhamphus?

Many scientists think so. In 1996, it was reclassified as Cycnorhamphus canjuersensis, and later studies suggested the two species might be the same animal.3 2
