'Tapezara was a pterosaur (not a dinosaur) that lived in South America during the Early Cretaceous Period (about 112 million years ago). It had a distinctive, colorful sail-like crest on top of its head, making it one of the most striking looking pterosaurs. Its beak was toothless and short, suggesting that it probably ate fruit or seeds.
