Fish-Catching Adaptation and Coastal Flight

Anhanguera possessed rounded bony crests at the tips of both its upper and lower jaws, which stabilized its snout while dipping into water at high speeds. These flying reptiles spent long hours soaring over marine habitats to locate surface-swimming fish.
