🚨 NEW PTEROSAUR! 🚨

Torukjara bandeirae is a new species of tapejarid pterosaur from the famous Pterosaur Graveyard site in southern Brazil! It was named both after the Toruks from Avatar, and Kamila Bandeira, a Brazilian paleontologist who first noticed a distinction between what is now two separate pterosaur genera!

I’ll post the next new pterosaur soon! So be sure to stick around to see Haliskia! 👻
