According to CNET, imagine that when a pterosaur as big as a school bus swoops down to earth, it will cast a huge shadow. According to Reuters, scientists have found fossils of the beast known as the "dragon of death" in the Andes of Argentina**
This ancient flying reptile roamed the sky during the Cretaceous period 86 million years ago, about the same time as the dinosaurs. This creature has a huge wingspan, about 30 feet long.
The new species is now one of the largest flying reptiles found in the world and the largest flying reptile found in South America.
"Dragon of death" is a resounding name derived from the official scientific name of the newly discovered creature: thanatosdrakon Amaru. The name is a combination of Thanatos and drakon in ancient Greek.
Leonardo Ortiz, the project leader, told Reuters: "it seems like a good name. It's the dragon of death."
The study was published in the Journal of Cretaceous Science in April( https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0195667122000921 ) 》Come on.
