Rhamphorhynchus

Rhamphorhynchus muensteri

Rhamphorhynchus was a pterosaur— a flying reptile— that soared over coastlines and lakes using long wings.

生息地: Mesozoic coastlines and lakes

外見

The Rhamphorhynchus has a long, pointed head with needle-like teeth and large eyes. Its most striking feature is its very long tail, stiffened by rods and ending in a diamond-shaped flap, quite different from the short tails of later pterosaurs. It flew on leathery, bat-like wings.
