A team of Australian researchers has discovered the country's largest flying reptile.
The fearsome, long-necked pterosaur had a wingspan measuring seven meters in length and what the team calls a "spear mouth."
According to a paper published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, Thapunngaka shawi was located at the geological Toolebuc Formation near Richmond in North West Queensland.
The authors noted that the Toolebuc formation shows the period when shallow seas covered around 60% of Australia.
