Description

Native to South America, Thanatosdrakon is a large pterosaur that dates back to the Late Cretaceous period - around 86-89 million years ago. With a wingspan of around 9m, this genus is the largest known pterosaur to have inhabited South America, Thanatosdrakon is notable for its unusual appearance, with a very large head and long neck attached to a comparatively small body.
