| rdfs:comment | - Rhamphorhynchus are small flying reptiles of the Jurassic.
* Many appeared in the Original 1933 King Kong as they are seen flying around the island and Kong's lair.
* Many appeared in Kenny and the Lost World, flying around the island, in and out Kong's lair, and in some scenes with the aquatic reptiles and Pteranodon.
- Although fragmentary fossil remains possibly belonging to Rhamphorhynchus have been found in England, Tanzania, and Spain, the best preserved specimens come from the Solnhofen limestone of Bavaria, Germany. Many of these fossils preserve not only the bones but impressions of soft tissues such as wing membranes. Scattered teeth believed to belong to Rhamphorhynchus have been found in Portugal as well.[1] The largest known specimen of Rhamphorhynchus muensteri (catalog number BMNH 37002) measures 1.26 meters (4.1 ft) long with a wingspan of 1.81 m (5.9 ft).
- Rhamphorhynchus was a coast-dwelling pterosaur featured in the third episode of Walking with Dinosaurs.
- Real Rhamphorynchus were small, common long-tailed pterosaurs which lived in the Jurassic period, reaching up to about 2 metres in wingspan. They were agile hunters and divers, using their needle-like, intermeshing teeth to catch and eat fish. Fossils of this animal have been found in the United Kingdom, Tanzania, Portugal, Germany, and Spain. Its name means "beak snout".
- A rhamphorhynchus is the smallest-known species of pterosaur, a family a dinosaur-like reptiles often found in the vicinity as true dinosaurs. They are quite small, with only a five foot wingspan, a mouth full of needle-sharp teeth, and a long tail which ends in a wicked barb.
- Rhamphorhyncus was a small genus toothed-pterosaur that lived during the late Jurassic Period about 145 million years ago. The lived mainly near the mainland catching insects. R. muensteri was the known species of its kind and was described by Georg August Goldfuss in 1831.
