吃：魚飛行爬蟲類侏羅紀晚期嚴格來說不是恐龍

Batrachognathus was a small flying reptile that lived during the Jurassic period. It had a short, wide head like a frog and probably snapped up fish from lakes.6 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。

酷東西

趣味知識

Batrachognathus means 'frog jaw' because its skull was short and wide, just like a frog's mouth.6

It lived about 161 to 155 million years ago, during the Late Jurassic period.2

Its fossils were found in very fine-grained shale, which was once the mud at the bottom of a large mountain lake.2

Scientists think Batrachognathus was a piscivore, meaning it mostly ate fish.6 1

Only a few fossils have been found, including a well-preserved skull and some crushed bones.2

Batrachognathus belonged to a group of pterosaurs called Anurognathidae, which were small and often had short tails.6
