Recently, scientists have found fossils of this pterosaur known as the "Dragon of Death", an ancient flying creature with a huge wingspan of about 30 feet (about 9 meters) in the Andes region of Argentina.
Pterodactyls, also known as pterodactyls, a collective term for pterosaurs, lived from the Late Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous, about 210 million years ago to 65 million years ago, this species is now one of the largest flying reptiles found in the world, and the largest pterosaur fossil found in South America.
Although pterosaurs were in the same period as dinosaurs, pterosaurs were not dinosaurs, and the Greek word means "winged lizards", so the official scientific name of "Dragon of Death": Thanatosdrakon amaru, is derived from the combination of death (thanatos) and dragon (drakon) in ancient Greek.
Project leader Leonardo Ortiz told the media: "It seems appropriate to name it that way. It is the Dragon of Death. The study was published in the scientific journal Cretaceous Research in April.
