Move over, Jurassic Park—there’s a new prehistoric superstar in town! Scientists from Brazil and the Chinese mainland have just announced the discovery of a new pterosaur species, a winged reptile that soared through ancient skies over 100 million years ago.
Science Without Borders
This groundbreaking find is the result of 20 years of collaboration between paleontologists in Rio de Janeiro and Beijing. Talk about #FriendshipGoals! The team analyzed fossils found in Brazil’s Araripe Basin, combining cutting-edge tech with old-school fieldwork to piece together the creature’s story.
Why This Matters
Pterosaurs were the first vertebrates to master flight—long before birds or bats. This new species, with its unique bone structure and wingspan, adds a critical chapter to our understanding of how these ‘dino-cousins’ evolved across continents.
Dr. Li Wei, a lead researcher from Beijing, told us: \"This discovery proves that science thrives when we work across borders. The fossils are in Brazil, but the story belongs to the whole world.\"
