The Resting Anhanguera Beside a Rock

The large flying reptile sits at the center of the scene on a smooth, rounded rock. Its broad wings extend to either side, and its long beak projects forward. Clumps of grass appear to the left, with more rocks on the right, creating a simple resting place on solid ground.

A Pterosaur Adapted to Catching Fish

Anhanguera had an elongated jaw with pointed teeth that were well suited to gripping slippery prey such as fish. Crests on the front of its jaws may have played a role in display or helped distinguish individuals, although scientists continue to examine their precise purpose. Its fossils connect it with environments that once included extensive bodies of water.

Plausible Colors for Anhanguera and Its Resting Place

  • Body covering: brown, russet, gray, or sandy tan
  • Spread wing membranes: muted beige, dark brown, or gray
  • Long beak and jaw crest: charcoal, brown, ocher, or dull orange
  • Rounded rock and nearby stones: granite gray, warm brown, or reddish tan
  • Grass: green, olive, or dry golden yellow
