名字的意思： “dragon of the Bakony Mountains”1

吃：魚飛行爬蟲類白堊紀晚期嚴格來說不是恐龍

Bakonydraco was a flying reptile that lived in what is now Hungary. It had a long, toothless beak like a pair of tweezers for grabbing fish. With a wingspan as wide as a small car, it soared over rivers and lakes.1

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。

趣味知識

Bakonydraco is known from a nearly complete lower jaw, which is one of the best preserved jaws of any azhdarchid pterosaur.1

Its neck was long and stiff, so it could not bend its head down easily. This may have helped it catch fish without slowing down.1

Bakonydraco lived alongside dinosaurs like theropods, ornithopods, and nodosaurids, as well as turtles, crocodilians, and birds.1

The name Bakonydraco means 'dragon of the Bakony Mountains', where its fossils were found in a bauxite mine.1

Scientists think Bakonydraco may have eaten fruits as well as fish, because its beak looks similar to that of the fruit-eating pterosaur Tapejara.1

Bakonydraco lived about 85 to 83 million years ago, during the Santonian stage of the Late Cretaceous.2
