Anurognathus, the Frog Jaw

from Paleo Bites

(image source: https://jurassic-world-san-diego.fandom.com/wiki/Anurognathus) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Ben O’Regan discuss Anurognathus, a freaky looking bat-frog thing that’s actually a pterosaur and thus closely related to birds and crocodiles. Nature’s weird, I gotta say. From the Late Jurassic, this 12-inch anurognathid pterosaur ate bugs and flapped its little wings and probably got terrified of moths. That’s just speculation, but it makes sense, right? I’m terrified of moths. I’m also really attracted to them and want them to step on me. Oh wait, those are goths. Want to further support the show?
