The discovery of Dsungaripterus came in 1964, when Chinese paleontologist Yang Zhongjian recovered a partial skeleton from the Junggar Basin in the north west of China. In fact, the name Dsungaripterus means Junggar Wing – and further investigation of the site led to the excavation of a more complete skeleton in 1973. Dsungaripterus was an average-sized pterosaur, with a wingspan of 3 to 3.5 m (9 to 11 ft).Dsungaripterus lived in Asia during the Early Cretaceous period, around 130 million years ago. It lived alongside other Early Cretaceous Asian dinosaurs such as Wuerhosaurus. Dsungaripterus preferred to live near shallow water and mudflats as it existed on a diet of small fish, crustaceans and worms – although it may have preyed upon smaller pterosaurs as well. Experts hypothesising that this carnivore’s strange appearance is an evolutionary trait designed to allow easy extraction of shellfish hidden in rocks.
