Tupuxuara

Encyclopedia : T : TU : TUP : Tupuxuara

Tupuxuara [link] is a type of pterosaur from the early Cretaceous and Jurrasic period. It was similar in appearance to Pteranodon, having a swept back crest, but its crest was larger and more pronounced. Females of the species had large crests, but their crests were more round. It is likely that Tupuxuara was a fish eater, and lived near the coasts of South America. The skull of the Tupuxuara measured a length of 900mm, the length of the entire body was 2.5 meters, and had a wingspan of 5.4 meters.
