A close-up of a colorful large-billed Dimorphodon
A close-up of a colorful large-billed Dimorphodon from Early-Jurassic England 195 million years ago. In the background is the ancient Tethys Ocean. While Dimorphodon's coloration is unknown, here an adult male has been given a colorful head 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. Its head and beak combined were about 9 inches long
