FLYING DINOSAUR

FLYING DINOSAUR
LIVED 95 MILLION YEARS AGO IN LUSH GREEN SAHARA REGION

Scientists have discovered a giant flying dinosaur with a wing span of six metres that lived in the sahara region of Africa, when it was a lush green paradise, some 95 million years ago.
The pterosaur, which had a lance- shaped that made it look a huge heron, was found by a team from the university college Dublin, the University of portsmouth and the University Hassan II in casablanca.
The scientists belive the newly identified pterosaur to be the earlist example of its kind that lied in African region.
The reptile was named Alenqa saharica, which means phoenix-a mythological flying creature that dies in a fire and is reborn from its ashes.
The team also discovered rare dinosaur foot prints, including some that record several animals walking along the sane trail. Besides finding hundreds of dinosaur teeth.
