Lake Wanderer
New flying reptile species found
The new species was named Lacusovagus, meaning lake wanderer |
A new fossil species of flying reptile with a wingspan the size of a family car has been uncovered by scientists.
A researcher at the University of Portsmouth has identified the new type of pterosaur, the largest of its kind ever to have been discovered.
It would have flown in the skies above Brazil 115 million years ago.
Mark Witton estimated that the pterosaur had a wingspan of 16.4ft (5m) and would have been more than 39in (1m) tall at the shoulder.
