— Allen Johnson, about Anurognathus in Land of Giants |
Anurognathus (name meaning "Without Tail Jaw") is a genus of rhamphorhynchoid pterosaur that originated during the Late Jurassic period in what is now North America and Europe. With a wingspan of only 20 in, this small pterosaur lived among the sauropod dinosaurs.
In the Series 2 episode "Land of Giants", a flock of Anurognathus were brought to the park from Late Jurassic Colorado, 150 million years ago. Due to their small size they are one of the few animals allowed to roam freely, however they are mostly around the Sauropod Savannah Enclosure where they mostly roam on the backs of sauropods.
