Mimodactylus was a small pterosaur, a flying reptile that lived about 95 million years ago. It had long wings and cone-shaped teeth, and it probably snapped up shrimp and other crustaceans from the ocean surface.2

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Mimodactylus is the most complete pterosaur ever found from the Afro-Arabian continent, which includes Africa and Arabia.2

Its wingspan was about 1.32 meters (4.3 feet), which is about as wide as a tall adult human's arm span.2

It had 11 cone-shaped teeth in the upper jaw and 10 in the lower jaw, all on the front half of its mouth.2

Mimodactylus lived in a warm sea with many islands, far from any large continent.2

Scientists think it flew like an albatross, gliding low over the water to snatch food.2

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

?What did Mimodactylus eat?

Mimodactylus probably ate shrimp and other crustaceans from the ocean surface. It may also have eaten insects, but scientists think crustaceans were its main food.2 1

?How big was Mimodactylus?

Mimodactylus was small, with a wingspan of about 1.32 meters (4.3 feet), which is about as wide as a tall adult human's arm span. The skull was only about 99 mm (3.9 inches) long.1 2

?Is Mimodactylus a dinosaur?

No, Mimodactylus is not a dinosaur. It is a pterosaur, a flying reptile that lived at the same time as dinosaurs.1

?When did Mimodactylus live?

Mimodactylus lived about 95 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.1

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Mimodactylus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Kellner et al. 20193
Iqela: Izirhubuluzi ezibhabhayo
Usapho / iclade: Mimodactylidae3
Ukuhlelwa: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea3
Ubudala bamatye: 100 ukuya ku-94 izigidi zeminyaka (Cenomanian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: Sannine Limestone3
Amazwe: iLebhanon3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: The only known skeleton was found in the Hjoûla Lagerstätte in Lebanon, a famous fossil site for fish and invertebrates. It was bought by an anonymous donor and given to the MIM Museum in Beirut. In 2019, a team led by Alexander Kellner named it Mimodactylus libanensis.2 1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure whether Mimodactylus ate insects or crustaceans, but most evidence points to crustaceans.2
