Winged Dimorphodon pluck fish from the Early-Jurassic Tethys Ocean
Winged Dimorphodon pluck fish from the Early-Jurassic Tethys Ocean 195 million years ago in what it is today England. While Dimorphodons coloration is unknown, here the adult males have been given colorful heads inspired by modern day puffins and toucans.
Dimorphodon was a medium-sized pterosaur (flying reptile) with a wingspan of about four feet and a large head and puffin-like beak. Its long front teeth suggest that it was built for plucking fish from near the surface of the water. Dimorphodon also had a long tail, the end of which is speculated to have sported a soft tissue vane for enhanced stability during flight

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Winged Dimorphodon in action, as it plucks fish from the Early-Jurassic Tethys Ocean. Dating back 195 million years ago in what is now England, this incredible creature roamed the shores with its colorful head inspired by modern-day puffins and toucans. Dimorphodon, a medium-sized pterosaur with a four-foot wingspan, possessed a large head and beak reminiscent of puffins. Its long front teeth were perfectly adapted for snatching fish near the water's surface. The speculation surrounding its long tail suggests that it may have sported a soft tissue vane to enhance flight stability. In this digitally generated image by Walter Myers, we are transported back to an era when these prehistoric creatures ruled the skies above ancient beaches. With its mouth open wide and wings spread out majestically against the backdrop of sand and ocean waves, this Winged Dimorphodon exemplifies both power and grace. As we delve into nature's history through paleontology and scientific exploration, images like these remind us of Earth's rich past filled with diverse species and extraordinary adaptations. This artwork not only captures our imagination but also serves as a testament to the wonders of evolution and wildlife preservation.
