Day 7 - Sharovipteryx

~ A Mid to Late Triassic sharovipterygidae reptile from Kyrgyzstan. Sharovipteryx was a small reptile with long hindlimbs that had wing membranes, this odd form would have allowed them to glide from tree to tree.

Sharovipteryx was a bizarre reptile known from Triassic rocks in Kyrgyzstan. It had incredibly long legs that bore wing membranes that allowed Sharovipteryx to glide from branch to branch.

Sharovipteryxe hunted insects & lived in the forests of what is now Central Asia. They had a large gliding membrane on the back legs!

Sharovipteryx fue un reptil del Triásico con la capacidad de planear. A diferencia de los pterosaurios, la membrana de vuelo se localizaba en sus patas traseras, ya que las delanteras eran muy cortas
Esta configuración anatómica no se ha vuelto a repetir en ningún animal actual.

Trying to make sense of Triassic critters. This is Ozimak, a recently named Polish cousin of the famously odd leg-winged Sharovipteryx.
