VOICED : El mayor reptil volador del mundo

The video discusses the discovery of the largest and most complete Tropeognathus mesembrino fossil in Brazil. This prehistoric flying reptile, with a wingspan of over 8 meters, provides significant scientific insights, showing that large flying reptiles existed much earlier than previously thought. Found in the Chapada de Araripe, the fossil is the largest in the Southern Hemisphere and third largest globally.
