Mythunga was a big flying reptile that soared over an ancient sea in Australia. It had a long, hollow snout and sharp teeth for catching fish. It was one of the largest pterosaurs from its region!1

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

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Mythunga is the most complete pterosaur skull known from Australasia, even though only part of the skull and jaws are preserved.1

Its snout was hollow and box-like inside, with thin-walled chambers separated by struts, which made the skull light for flying.1

Mythunga had only three teeth between the last enlarged tooth and the opening in its snout, and these teeth were spaced widely apart.1

The fossil was found in 1991 by Philip Gilmore, and it may be from a young animal, so adults could have been even larger.1

Mythunga lived near the coast of the Eromanga Sea, a shallow inland sea that covered central Australia during the Early Cretaceous.1

Its teeth interlocked in a way typical of fish-eating pterosaurs, and the wide spacing may have helped it catch large fish.1

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

?How big was Mythunga?

Its wingspan was between 4 and 6 metres (13 to 20 ft). Its skull was about 80 centimetres to 1 metre (2.6 to 3.3 ft) long.2 1

?What did Mythunga eat?

It ate fish. Its interlocking teeth were typical of fish-eating pterosaurs, and the wide spacing may have helped it catch large fish.1

?When did Mythunga live?

Mythunga lived during the late Early Cretaceous, about 100 million years ago (Albian age).2 1

?Is Mythunga a dinosaur?

No, Mythunga is a pterosaur, a flying reptile that is not a dinosaur.2 1

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Some people think Mythunga was a dinosaur.

Inyaniso: Mythunga was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that is not a dinosaur. Pterosaurs are a separate group of reptiles that evolved flight independently.1

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Mythunga
Inikwe igama ngu:: Molnar and Thulborn 20073
Iqela: Izirhubuluzi ezibhabhayo
Usapho / iclade: Anhangueridae3
Ukuhlelwa: Pterosauria > Pterodactyloidea3
Ubudala bamatye: 106 ukuya ku-100 izigidi zeminyaka (Albian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: Toolebuc3
Amazwe: i-Ostreliya3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: The partial skull was discovered in 1991 by Philip Gilmore on Dunluce Station in Queensland, Australia. It was named by Molnar and Thulborn in 2007.1 3
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure if Mythunga had a crest on its head, because the top of the snout is missing from the fossil.1
