Kepodactylus was a flying reptile that lived during the Late Jurassic period. It had a wingspan of about 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) and likely ate fish.1 2

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Kepodactylus was discovered in 1992 when scientists were digging up a Stegosaurus skeleton in Garden Park, Colorado. They found the pterosaur bones by accident.1

Its name means 'garden finger' because it was found in Garden Park and pterosaurs have a long wing finger.1

Kepodactylus had extra holes in its bones called pneumatic foramina. These holes let air from air sacs enter the bones, making them lighter for flying.1

Scientists think Kepodactylus weighed about 10 kilograms (22 pounds), which is as heavy as a large cat.1

Kepodactylus lived during the Late Jurassic period, about 149 to 143 million years ago.2

Only one specimen of Kepodactylus has been found, and it includes a neck bone, an upper arm bone, finger bones, and a foot bone.1 3

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

?Was Kepodactylus a dinosaur?

No, Kepodactylus was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that lived during the time of dinosaurs, but it was not a dinosaur itself.1

?How big was Kepodactylus?

Kepodactylus had a wingspan of about 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) and weighed around 10 kilograms (22 pounds), about as heavy as a medium sized dog.1

?What did Kepodactylus eat?

Kepodactylus likely ate fish, as many other pterosaurs with similar long jaws did.1

?Where was Kepodactylus found?

Kepodactylus was discovered in Garden Park, Colorado, in the United States, in rocks from the Late Jurassic period.1

Ukufunyanwa: Kepodactylus was named by Jerald Harris and Kenneth Carpenter in 1996. The fossils were found in 1992 in Garden Park, Colorado, while digging up a Stegosaurus.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure exactly which group of pterosaurs Kepodactylus belongs to. Some studies place it in the family Ctenochasmatidae, while others put it in a larger group called Lophocratia.1 2
