Anurognathus: Beast of the Week
This week we will be checking out a unique little pterosaur, Anurognathus ammoni! Anurognathus lived in what is now Germany during the late Jurassic period, about 150 million years ago. It was tiny, sporting a 14 inch (35.5 cm) wingspan, and would have likely eaten insects. It's genus name translates to "Frog Jaw" since its skull was similar looking to a frog's, being extremely blunt with a wide mouth.
