Douzhanopterus

名字的意思： “Victorious Fighting Buddha wing”1

吃：魚飛行爬蟲類侏羅紀中期到侏羅紀晚期嚴格來說不是恐龍

Douzhanopterus was a small flying reptile that lived during the Jurassic Period. It had a tail that was shorter than older pterosaurs but longer than later ones, making it a link between the two groups.2 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

Douzhanopterus had a tail that was 173% the length of its upper arm bone (humerus), which is shorter than older pterosaurs but still longer than later pterodactyloids.2

Its fifth toe on the foot was reduced, with the first toe bone only about 20% the length of the third foot bone.2

The only known fossil of Douzhanopterus is a skeleton without a skull, stored at the Shandong Tianyu Museum of Nature in China.1

Douzhanopterus lived about 160 to 161 million years ago, during the Oxfordian stage of the Jurassic Period.2

Its name comes from a Chinese legend: Douzhan refers to a Buddha title given to the Monkey King Sun Wukong.1

Douzhanopterus is considered a transitional form, meaning it shows features between older long-tailed pterosaurs and newer short-tailed pterodactyloids.2

The fossil was bought from a local farmer who said it came from Toudaoyingzi, but scientists think it actually came from Linglongta in Liaoning, China.1

發現: Douzhanopterus was named in 2017 by Wang Xiaoli and colleagues. The only known fossil was bought from a local farmer and is now stored at the Shandong Tianyu Museum of Nature.1
仍有爭議: Scientists are not sure exactly how Douzhanopterus is related to other pterosaurs, but it is thought to be a close relative of the group that led to pterodactyloids.2
