Liaodactylus was an early pterosaur that used its long jaws like a strainer. It had more than 150 thin, comb-like teeth to catch tiny creatures in the water. This flying reptile lived about 160 million years ago in what is now China.1

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Liaodactylus is the oldest known filter-feeding pterosaur, living about 160 million years ago in the Late Jurassic.1

Its skull was only 133 mm long, but it held 152 teeth in total, arranged like a comb to trap food.1

The name Liaodactylus means 'Liaoning finger', after the province in China where it was found.1

Liaodactylus belonged to a group called Ctenochasmatidae, which were all filter-feeders with long snouts and many teeth.1

This pterosaur lived alongside small dinosaurs, mammals, and salamanders in the Yanliao Biota of China.1

Liaodactylus had a large opening in its skull called a nasoantorbital fenestra, which is a feature of advanced pterosaurs.1

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

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Some people think all pterosaurs ate fish or meat.

Inyaniso: Liaodactylus was a filter-feeder, straining tiny creatures from water with its comb-like teeth, not catching fish.1

Ukufunyanwa: Liaodactylus was named in 2017 by Zhou and colleagues based on a nearly complete skull and jaws found at Daxishan in Liaoning, China.3 1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure about the exact size of Liaodactylus because only its skull and neck bones have been found.1
