OK, this latest animal is also a flyer: the Maaradactylus. Its name is based on an ancient legend of a chief's daughter. Her name was Maara… turned by sorcery into a river monster with long teeth that devoured fishermen! Heh, change a few details, and this could be my ex! - Cabot Finch

Maaradactylus is a genus of anhanguerid pterosaur in Jurassic World Evolution 2. It originated from Early Cretaceous South America.

Characteristics

With a wingspan of around 6 meters, Maaradactylus is relatively large for a pterosaur. Similar in appearance to Tropeognathus, Maaradactylus had among the largest skulls of any of the anhanguerid family of pterosaurs. It is easy to recognize thanks to its unusual appearance – its jaws feature curved crests on both the upper and lower sections and contain rows of sharp teeth. Native to South America, the genus is named after the Brazilian legend Maara, a mystical woman who transformed into a monster with large teeth.

Gameplay

Behaviour

Being a small and flimsy-statured pterosaur, Maaradactylus behaves much like its close cousin the Cearadactylus. As with most other flying reptiles, they will generally just fly around, land to rest and hunt for fish at the feeder with others of its kind. A moderately sociable species, it likes to live in small flocks in order to stay comfortable. They have a natural predisposition to be agressive and kill other pterosaurs.

Paleontology

One of the largest anhanguerid with a wingspan estimate of 6 m (20 ft) wide, Maaradactylus is one of the most recent pterosaur discoveries, with the first fossils unearthed in 2010, when a skull and several vertebrae were excavated from the Romualdo Formation in Ceara, Brazil. The remains were classified as a new genus four years later by Dr. Renan Bantim, although there is much more to learn about this dinosaur, as there have been no further finds since.

Paleoecology

Maaradactylus existed during the Early Cretaceous period around 110 million years ago, sharing its environment with fellow pterosaur Cearadactylus. It had a piscivorous diet, darting down into the ocean to grab fish before flying to nests up on the cliffs away from predators.

Behind the scenes

Maaradactylus was first revealed to be in Evolution 2 on the 30th October 2021 via a leak by french youtuber RETRO GAME FUTURE.
