Pterosaurs of the genus Zhenyuanopterus congregate on a bluff supporting redwood coniferous trees, ferns and Ginkgos 125 million years ago in what is today China. With a wingspan of 12 feet and long needle-like teeth, Zhenyuanopterus was a carnivorous flying reptile that likely fed upon aquatic life.
