Dimorphodon

Gouache on paper A3

Just a small fella in Pterosaur terms. Dimorphodon, as the name suggests had two types of teeth and is thought to have lived on the coast and also in woodland near rivers and lakes. Although the shape of the teeth suggest that Dimorphodon would have eaten fish I have depicted him as an opportunist feeder - Snapping up insects on the wing as a snack before a breakfast of fish and small amphibians .Mmmm.

  1. Thanks Dinorider - As a fellow Tolkien fan I take that as a compliment from the finest source :-)

  2. What a lovely picture of a Dimorphodon. I've really liked those little guys since I was a kid.
