Tapejara (The Old Being)

3.5m Long (Wingspan)

South America: Brazil

Pterosauria

'''A strange pterosaur that has puzzled scientists for decades for all they have found of Tapejara is the head a few neck bones and some other bones so the guess on how big it's wingspan was is sketchy at best. Like modern day birds they may have used their large crests on their heads to be used to attract a mate meaning that the colors on their head's would be very bright and very wanting. Other dictated that it was used like a type of primitive sail for just like modern water birds they would rest on the water and instead of using their feet for swimming they would instead use their crests instead in some ways this makes sense for this way underwater predators would have a hard time detecting them if all they were doing is sailing through the water using air power without hardly making a sound. If under water predators got too close to them they would merely fly off knowing that their survival comes first and not the prey.'''

'''Knowing that they lived for 20 million years is a guarantee that they were a successful species by using this sail tactic of theirs. They would have along the seaside cliff lines as a means of being able to get to the sea and their food sources very easily.'''
