Dimorphodon - Tumblr Posts

Day 4 of anonymously popularising the Dimorphodon Macronyx:

Their long tails were for balance while flying.

(Tag this with “Dimorphodon” and “dinosaur”)

Ooh, nice!

Always good to see creatures being popularized

Dimorphodon (two form teeth) 

era- Early Jurassic

family-  Dimorphodontidae

location- Dorset England 

length- 1m 

wingspan- 1.45m

Dimorphodon was a unique early pterosaur, so much so that it was given its own family which it is the only member of. its large head had a large antorbital fenestra, ( a large hole in skull between the nostrals and the eyes) this made its big head light so it could easily lift it. Its named after its teeth, it has mostly longer sharper teeth in the top jaw, and a bunch of tiny teeth in the bottom. structurally it probably had a weak bite force but it was fast, so it might have eaten fast flying insects that dont require a strong bite to kill and eat. 

I drew an anthro dimorphodon, for some reason deciding to curse them with TOO MANY COLOUR GRADIENTS-
