Do you ever wonder what the most dangerous Dinosaur was? Most people would say the Tyrannosaurus-rex because of its sharp teeth and its ferocious look, but it's only rated as the 15th. How about the top 3. Number 3 Pterodactylus Antiquus which means winged finger they very small parasaurs they lived during the late Jurassic period around 150 million years ago. Their fossils have been found in Germany, Europe and Africa. Number 2 Pteranodon Longiceps was first discovered in 1871 in canvas Utah they had a wingspan of 20 feet they lived about 85 million years ago they spent most of their time over the blue seas looking for fish and they barely touched the ground. They did not have any teeth but they had a mean attitude. Number 1 Dimorphodon Macronyx. They roamed around what is now called Europe. Their name means 2 formed tooth and is a species of Pterosaur. All specimens of this species can be found in the Jurassic coast of the UK. They had 2 distinctly different types teeth ones that were made to tear flesh and others that were made to grab tightly onto prey. They fed on fish and other aquatic animals as well as small land animals too. They might have been pack hunters and would work together to hunt larger prey that would feed them and their young.
