DINO-A-DAY #2: Rhamphorhynchus

Welcome to Dino-a-Day, where we'll be highlighting one prehistoric beast per day until the release of our graphic novel Evolution: The Story of Life on Earth on January 4, 2011.

Each of the ninety-six creatures we'll be featuring on this blog are taken from a huge 2-page spread in the middle of Evolution. So while you can see each individual creature here, you'll need to grab the book to see them all together!

NAME: Rhamphorhynchus
PRONUNCIATION: RAM-fo-RING-kus
ORDER: Pterosaur
EXISTED DURING: Late Jurassic
DISCOVERED: Germany, 1847
FUN FACT: The location of Rhamphorhynchus' teeth suggest that it had a piscivorous diet, which means it ate fish.
