A flock of Dorygnathus
A flock of Dorygnathus soars high over a rugged, Early Jurassic European landscape of Wollemi Pine approximately 180 million years ago.
Dorygnathus had a wing span of about 3 feet and its large, curved fangs suggests that it dined primarily on fish. Like all pterosaurs, Dorygnathus was a flying reptile, not a dinosaur (the flying descendents of the dinosaurs live on today as birds)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Walter Myers takes us back in time to the Early Jurassic era, approximately 180 million years ago. The image showcases a breathtaking scene of a flock of Dorygnathus soaring high above a rugged European landscape adorned with Wollemi Pine trees. Dorygnathus, with its impressive three-foot wingspan and distinctive curved fangs, was an apex predator that primarily feasted on fish. It is important to note that despite its reptilian appearance, Dorygnathus belonged to the pterosaur family and not dinosaurs. These flying creatures are considered the ancestors of modern-day birds. The digitally generated artwork beautifully captures the essence of these prehistoric beings as they spread their wings and take flight in unison. Against the backdrop of clear blue skies, this mesmerizing illustration transports us into a world long gone but forever imprinted in our collective memory. As we gaze at this awe-inspiring sight, we are reminded of the incredible diversity that once existed during Earth's ancient past. This image serves as a testament to nature's remarkable ability to evolve and adapt over millions of years. Walter Myers' masterpiece offers us a glimpse into an extinct species' existence while igniting our curiosity about paleontology, evolution, and the wonders hidden within our planet's history.
