Three new species of flying dinosaurs discovered in Morocco

摩洛哥發(fā)現(xiàn)三種新的飛行恐龍

Apparently there were even more dinosaurs flying the fearsome skies.

顯然還有更多的恐龍?jiān)诳膳碌奶炜罩酗w翔。

“Scientists have discovered three new species of flying reptiles that lived in the Sahara 100 [million] years ago,” according to the Guardian. The winged, fish-eating reptiles, called pterosaurs, inhabited prehistoric Morocco — back when the desert was an ocean.

據(jù)《衛(wèi)報(bào)》報(bào)道:“科學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)了三種新的飛行爬行動(dòng)物,它們生活在1億年前的撒哈拉沙漠。”。這種有翼的、以魚為食的爬行動(dòng)物被稱為翼龍,它們生活在史前的摩洛哥,那時(shí)的沙漠還是海洋。

The discovery was made by David Martill, a paleontologist at the University of Portsmouth in England. Martill has published a study outlining his findings.

這一發(fā)現(xiàn)是由英國樸茨茅斯大學(xué)的古生物學(xué)家大衛(wèi)·馬蒂爾(David Martill)發(fā)現(xiàn)的。馬蒂爾發(fā)表了一項(xiàng)研究,概述了他的發(fā)現(xiàn)。

“The new finds show that African pterosaurs were quite similar to those found on other continents,” a university spokeswoman told the Guardian. “These flying predators soared above a world dominated by predators, including crocodile-like hunters and carnivorous dinosaurs. Interestingly, herbivores such as sauropods and ornithischian dinosaurs are rare.”

“這些新發(fā)現(xiàn)表明,非洲翼龍與其他大陸上發(fā)現(xiàn)的翼龍非常相似,”該大學(xué)的一位女發(fā)言人告訴《衛(wèi)報(bào)》。這些會(huì)飛的食肉動(dòng)物飛到一個(gè)由食肉動(dòng)物統(tǒng)治的世界上空,包括像鱷魚一樣的獵人和食肉恐龍。有趣的是,像蜥腳類和鳥臀目恐龍這樣的食草動(dòng)物非常罕見。”

“Many of the predators, including the toothed pterosaurs, preyed on a superabundance of fish.”

“許多食肉動(dòng)物,包括有牙齒的翼龍,都以大量的魚類為食。”

“We are in a golden age for discovering pterodactyls,” Martill said. “This year alone we have discovered three new species and we are only into March.”

“我們正處在發(fā)現(xiàn)翼手龍的黃金時(shí)代,”馬提爾說。“僅今年一年,我們就發(fā)現(xiàn)了三個(gè)新物種,而我們現(xiàn)在才剛剛進(jìn)入三月。”

The dive bombing dinos had wingspans of between nine to 12 feet and had jaws full of long, spiky teeth.
