"The genus was named by Eberhard Frey et al. in 2003 and contains one known species, Ludodactylus sibbicki. The name is derived from Latin ludus, "play" and Greek daktylos, "finger". Ludus refers to the fact, long lamented by paleontologists, that many toy pterosaurs combined teeth with a Pteranodon-like head crest, while no such creature was known to exist — however, Ludodactylus shows exactly this combination of features. "

PBS Eons is one of my favorite Youtube channels: very cool videos and they make comments like these:

"Wondering if we used AI to create graphics (or thumbnails!) for this video? Nope! Every Complexly video is lovingly, painstakingly human-made."

A 233-Million-Year-Old Fossil Reveals How #Pterosaurs Learned to Fly.
Learn how early reptiles began building the visual and brain skills needed for flight long before takeoff.
#Fossils of Ixalerpeton offered the clearest window yet into the earliest stages of pterosaur brain evolution. Although this small reptile never flew, its brain shows that some of the sensory groundwork for flight was already forming before wings ever appeared.

various toothy #pterosaurs I always find them particularly difficult to restore without making them look monstrous, the tooth/beak/lip coverage is hard to wrap my head around.

context: I wanted to included this pic from an old spiderman comic, but sadly mastodon doesn't allow both an image and a poll in the same toot! How rude.
