Description

Rhamphorhynchus muensteri or "beak snout" who was part of the genus of long-tailed pterosaurs in the Jurassic period. It had a long tail, stiffened with ligaments, which ended in a characteristic diamond-shaped vane. The jaws of Rhamphorhynchus housed needle-like teeth, which were angled forward (20 top, 14 bottom) which indicated a diet of fish and insects.
The largest known specimen of Rhamphorhynchus muensteri (catalog number BMNH 37002) measures 1.26 meters (4.1 ft) long with a wingspan of 1.81 m (5.9 ft)

A slightly less cartoony picture of my Rhamphorhynchus OC "Fritz" who's suppose to be the counterpart for my Tapejara OC "Spitz"

anyway... wanted to draw my 3rd favorite Pterasaur :heart: Rhamphorhynchus, but I didn't want to leave it without a blank background so I made him flying over a beach trying to catch some fish at the surface. So enjoy the crappy background.
