Description
Tapejara wellnhoferi was a medium-sized pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous of Brazil, known for its striking head crest.
It belonged to the Tapejaridae family, characterized by large, sail-like crests that may have been used for display or stability during flight.
With a wingspan of approximately 4–5 meters, Tapejara was a skilled flyer, likely soaring over prehistoric coastlines and inland lakes.
Its curved, toothless beak suggests a varied diet, possibly including fruits, seeds, or fish.
Named in honor of pterosaur expert Peter Wellnhofer, Tapejara wellnhoferi provides key insights into the diversity and ecology of early pterosaurs.
