Anhanguera at the Sea Cave Entrance

An Anhanguera stands positioned on rugged coastal rock formations right near a seaside cavern entrance. Rocky cliffs and coastal stone surroundings encircle the cavern opening along the ocean shore.

Coastal Pterosaur Habits

Anhanguera featured rounded crests on both its upper and lower jaws, which stabilized its long snout when skimming across sea water to catch prey. The name Anhanguera comes from an Indigenous Tupi word meaning old devil, reflecting its impressive toothy jaw structure.
