Jungaripterus is a pterosaur (not a dinosaur) that lived in Asia during the Early Cretaceous (about 130 million years ago). It is characterized by a distinctive upturned beak and a sharp crest on the back of its head. The tip of its beak is pointed and hard, suggesting that it probably ate by cracking the shells of clams and crustaceans.
