Targaryendraco

Targaryendraco wiedenrothi, a recently described pterosaur whose name references the phenomenon Game of Thrones. The most interesting part about the animal is not the name though, but its contribution for our understanding of a whole pterosaur lineage!

I had the pleasure to make this reconstruction for a National Geographic article about the new pterosaur! https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2019/11/new-pterosaur-species-named-for-targaryen-game-of-thrones-dragons/
