Dorygnathus (SciiFii)

Dorygnathus gladiusodonta (name meaning "sword-toothed spear jaw") is a species of pterosaur that originally lived in Europe during the Early Jurassic period, 180 million years ago, as an extinct species, Ornithocephalus banthensis, when shallow seas flooded much of the continent, and this pterosaur was once extinct, but it has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. Dorygnathus gladiusodonta has a short 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) wingspan, and a relatively small triangular sternum, which is where its flight muscles attaches. Dorygnathus gladiusodonta has variable teeth, a condition called heterodonty, which is rare in native modern reptiles but it is more common in primitive pterosaurs. The heterodont dentition in Dorygnathus gladiusodonta is consistent with a piscivorous (fish-eating) diet, and primarily feeds on small fish, frogs, crustaceans, snails, slugs, and worms, but it can also feed on insects, spiders, and carrion to supplement its diet. It is normally a solitary animal, but during breeding seasons, males often try to find females, and if successful, they become mates for life. Dorygnathus gladiusodonta is found throughout Eurasia and North America as a result of the SciiFii Pterosaur Incident, which occurred on October 12, 2039, and was caused by unidentified criminals and their failed attempt to steal pterosaurs for wars, but unintentionally released the pterosaurs out of the exhibits and into the modern world. Dorygnathus gladiusodonta is a very common species, not in risk of extinction, due to being an adaptable animal that is able to live in cities and suburbs, not just the wilderness.
