those teeth look like whiskers, no wonder this thing is extinct

Cyncnoramphus reminds me of a spoon-billed sandpiper

Pterosaurs: they had all kinds of beaks before birds did

I would now love to know what species they are, since I have no idea about the first one '^'

lovely work, I love how you give your pterosaur fuzzy apperance, natural colors and such delicate apperance thanks to watercolors

The top one is Cycnorhamphus suevicus, the middle one is Ctenochasma elegans and the bottom one is Ardeadactylus longicollum.Β

thank you very much for your reply ^^
(you really should put these in description, because most of people have no idea where to even look at and if I, someone who got interest in paleontology haven't knew these pterosaurs, it's really important to write names of what species you draw/paint)

Cool.

Yeah, there are so many awesome Solnhofen pterosaurs.Β 
Although the diets I've shown in this picture are all quite speculative.Β

Corallianassa In reply to Kutchicetus-Minimus [2016-12-08 18:21:26 +0000 UTC]

Speculative, but I'd say they are healthy speculation.
