名字的意思： “dragon of Alba County”1

吃：魚飛行爬蟲類白堊紀晚期嚴格來說不是恐龍

Albadraco was a large flying reptile that lived on an ancient island in what is now Romania. It had a long beak like a stork and probably swooped down to catch fish from rivers and lakes.1 3

趣味小知識：翼龍在恐龍頭上飛來飛去，但牠們是恐龍的親戚，不是恐龍喔。

酷東西

趣味知識

Albadraco was an azhdarchid pterosaur, a group that includes some of the largest flying animals ever.1

Its fossils were found together in a single spot: two beak fragments and a neck bone from the same individual.1

Albadraco lived on 'Hațeg Island', a real island in the Cretaceous period, which was home to dwarf dinosaurs and giant pterosaurs.1

This pterosaur was not fully grown when it died, so adults might have been even larger.1

Albadraco was a medium-sized azhdarchid, bigger than Eurazhdarcho but smaller than the giant Hatzegopteryx.1

Its beak had no teeth, like other azhdarchids, and had tiny holes (foramina) on the surface.1
