Rhamphorhynchus (Jurassic)
Rhamphorhynchus is a genus of flying long-tailed terror-sours lived in the Jurassic period 160-140 million years ago. They roamed the sky over Great Britain, Spain, Germany, Tanzania, and Angola present territories.
Rhamphorhynchus had large, elongated, and pointed skulls with the increased intermaxillary bone shaped into a beak. The Reptile mouth housed teeth which were needle-like, angled forward and stuck out in different directions resembling a rickety woody fence. Rhamphorhynchus preyed by dragging its wide opened beak in the water and snapping up fish whilst soaring over the water surface. This preying pattern provided an opportunity not to drench their wing membranes.
These flying reptiles were not fastidious about larvae underneath the bark.
A real feast occurred in case they found animal egg in the shore sand. Flying reptiles dwelt in large rookeries along the water reservoir shores or coastal rocks.
Bats and birds evolved a popular misconception from Rhamphorhynchus. However, Terror-saurus are not related to either birds or bats. The appearance of flight in terror-sours was separate from the evolution of flight in birds and bats.
