Feilongus

名字的意思： “flying dragon”1

吃：魚飛行爬蟲類白堊紀早期嚴格來說不是恐龍

Feilongus was a flying reptile that lived in ancient China. It had a long, thin skull and many needle-like teeth, perfect for scooping up fish from the water.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

Feilongus had two bony crests on its skull, one on the snout and one at the back of the head.1

Its upper jaw stuck out 27 millimeters (1.1 inches) longer than its lower jaw, giving it an overbite.1

Feilongus had 76 long, curved, needle-like teeth, only in the front part of its jaws.1

Its wingspan was about 2.4 meters (7.9 feet), making it large for an early pterodactyloid.1

Feilongus lived during the Early Cretaceous, around 124.6 million years ago.1

Scientists are not sure exactly which group Feilongus belongs to; some think it is related to ctenochasmatids, others to ornithocheiroids.1

關於 Feilongus 最常被問的問題

?Was Feilongus a dinosaur?

No, Feilongus was a pterosaur, a flying reptile that lived during the time of dinosaurs. Pterosaurs are not dinosaurs, but they are close relatives.1

?How big was Feilongus?

Feilongus had a wingspan of about 2.4 meters (7.9 feet), which is large for an early pterodactyloid. Its skull was about 390 to 400 millimeters (15.4 to 15.7 inches) long.1

?What did Feilongus eat?

Feilongus likely ate fish, using its long, needle-like teeth to scoop them from the water. Some scientists think it may have strained food from water like flamingos do today.1
