Comment
Interesting fact
The Dsungaripterus weii, featured on the 20 Cents coin from Samoa, is a species of pterosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous period, around 145-100 million years ago. It is known for its distinctive long, pointed snout and large size, with some specimens reaching wingspans of up to 10 meters (33 feet). Despite its fearsome appearance, the Dsungaripterus weii was likely a fish-eater, using its long beak to catch fish and other aquatic prey.
