名字的意思： “Liaoning wing”1

吃：魚飛行爬蟲類白堊紀早期嚴格來說不是恐龍

Liaoningopterus was a huge flying reptile that soared over ancient lakes in China. It had the biggest teeth of any pterosaur ever found, with one tooth longer than your hand!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

Its fourth upper tooth was 81 millimeters (3.2 inches) long, the largest known tooth of any pterosaur.1

The skull alone was about 61 centimeters (24 inches) long, longer than a ruler.1

It had small crests on the tip of its beak, both on the upper and lower jaw.1

Liaoningopterus had 20 pairs of teeth in the upper jaw and 13 or 14 pairs in the lower jaw.1

It lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 120 million years ago.1

The name honors Professor Gu Zhiwei, who studied the Jehol Biota.1

Scientists estimate its wingspan was about 5 meters (16 feet), as wide as a small car.1
