Don't be fooled by its name, Eopteranodon is not closely related to the other more popular pterosaur with a similar name. It's one of the earliest known toothless pterosaurs. https://t.co/NouIhlRzSA

Pterosaur feathers

Pterosaurs are known to have been covered in hair-like pycnofibers. Two specimens of anurognathids show that some pycnofibers were brush- or tuft-shaped and probably share an evolutionary origin with feathers.

Very interesting, from : "New research, led by the University of Bristol, suggests that feathers arose 100 million years before birds—changing how we look at birds, and pterosaurs, the flying reptiles." https://t.co/4214ojSu2L
