Tapejara Guarding Nest on a Cliff Ledge
The image depicts a Tapejara perched beside a rounded nest containing several eggs on a cliffside ledge. The high rocky perch provided protection from ground predators while offering a clear view over surrounding prehistoric territories.
Crested Pterosaurs and Nesting Habits
