Anurognathids were perhaps the weirdest yet cutest-looking pterosaurs. Instead of long, pointed bills, they had wide, amphibian-like mouths that were probably best suited for catching flying insects. Anurognathus itself was a small creature around the size of a robin, but Jeholopterus (third painting) was closer to the size of a hawk and was the largest member of the family. It may have fed on small vertebrates rather than insects.

There is no fandom I respect more than the Spy vs Spy fandom. All the people saw a comic who’s entire world is based around “Two guys try to kill eachother every week.” and were like, “Wait… there might be a little something going between those two…” You are all so smart for seeing that.
Like yes, you go girl! Make those weird beaked little guys make out as they stab eachother!!! They are obsessed with eachother and violence is how they express it!!!
You guys just GET IT.
