Description
Jeholopterus is an anurognathid pterosaur notable for its blunt snout and rows of sharp teeth. The genus takes its name from the Jehol region of Inner Mongolia that it called home and has a wingspan of around 32 inches. It dates back to the mid-Jurassic period, around 164 million years ago.
Discovery
This genus was first described in 2002 by a group of palaeontologists including the world-renowned Xu Xing, following the discovery a near-complete skeleton in the Daohugou beds of the Haifanggou Formation in Ningcheng County, north-east China. This well-preserved specimen allowed expert to learn about the genus in detail and reach strong hypotheses on how it lived.
Paleoecology
Jeholopterus lived in the forests of Daohugou, where the climate was warm and humid, with a rich variety of flora and fauna. Although most anurognathids fed primarily on insects, Jeholoptertus’ relatively large size has led researchers to believe it may also have been a piscivore, using its small, sharp teeth to dart into the water and grab fish swimming near the surface.
Cohabitation Preferences
Behaviors are scripted in game files but are not guaranteed to happen. Dominance, territory, and traits determine whether they would actually fight.
