Ehara rawa ngā Pterosauria i te tainasoa.

Pterosauria: Ehara ahau i te "taina rere"

Ki tā tātou whakaaro, ko ngā tainasoa te rangatira o te ao i ngā wā onamata. E whakaaro ana tātou he mea noa iho ko ngā kararehe rite i taua wā kua whakarōpūtia katoatia ki roto i te kāwai tainasoa. Nō reira, ka huri ngā Pterosauria hei "tinasoa rere". Ina hoki, ehara ngā Pterosauria i ngā tainasoa!

Ko ngā tainasoa e pā ana ki ētahi ngārara whenua ka taea te haere tika, engari kāore ngā pterosaur. He ngārara rere noa ngā Pterosauria, ā, nō ngā manga whanaketanga o Ornithodira ngā tainasoa. Arā, he rite ngā pterosauria me ngā tainasoa ki ngā "whānaungatanga". He whanaunga tata rāua, ā, e rua ngā ahunga whanaketanga i noho i te wā kotahi, ā, ko tō rāua tūpuna hou ko Ornithischiosaurus.

Te whanaketanga parirau

I te whenua i nohoia e ngā tainasoa, ā, i te rangi i nohoia e ngā pterosaur. He whānau rātou, he aha i noho ai tētahi i te rangi, ā, ko tētahi i runga i te whenua?

I te taha hauauru o te Porowini o Liaoning i Haina, i kitea he hua manu pterosauria i pēhia engari kāore i kitea he tohu whati. I kitea kua pai te whanaketanga o ngā kiri parirau o ngā kukune i roto, ko te tikanga ka taea e ngā pterosauria te rere wawe i muri i te whānautanga.

Kua whakaatuhia e ngā rangahau a ngā tohunga maha ko ngā pterosauria tuatahi i ahu mai i ngā manu iti, kai pepeke, waewae roa pērā i a Scleromochlus, he kiriuhi kei ō rātou waewae o muri, e toro atu ana ki te tinana, ki te hiku rānei. Nā te hiahia pea kia ora, kia kaipahua, ka nui haere te kiri o rātou, ā, ka whanake haere kia rite ki te āhua o ngā parirau. Nō reira, ka taea hoki te pana ake, ka whanake haere hei ngārara rere.

E whakaatu ana ngā kōiwi tawhito i te tuatahi ehara i te mea he iti noa iho ēnei manu ririki, engari kāore hoki i te tino kitea te hanganga wheua o ngā parirau. Engari i āta haere, ka whanake haere rātou ki te rangi, ā, ka whakakapia ngā "pūngāwerewere" e te parirau nui ake, e rere poto ana, e Pterosauria, ā, i te mutunga ka noho ko rātou te mana o te rangi.

I te tau 2001, i kitea he kōiwi pterosauria i Tiamana. I tiakina ētahi parirau o te kōiwi. I whakamātauhia e ngā kaipūtaiao ki te hihi ultraviolet, ā, i kitea ko ōna parirau he kiriuhi kiri me ngā uaua toto, ngā uaua me ngā muka roa. Ka taea e ngā muka te tautoko i ngā parirau, ā, ka taea te kume pūmau i te kiriuhi, te whakapiko rānei pērā i te pā. Ā, i te tau 2018, e rua ngā kōiwi pterosauria i kitea i Haina i whakaatu he huruhuru taketake anō hoki ō rātou, engari he rerekē ki ngā huruhuru o ngā manu, he iti ake, he puhoi ake ō rātou huruhuru, ā, ka taea te whakamahi hei pupuri i te pāmahana o te tinana.

He uaua ki te rere

E mōhio ana koe? I roto i ngā kōiwi kua kitea, ka taea e te whānuitanga o ngā parirau o ngā pterosauria nunui te toro atu ki te 10 mita. Nō reira, e whakapono ana ētahi tohunga ahakoa e rua ō rātou parirau, kāore e taea e ētahi pterosauria nunui te rere mō te wā roa me te tawhiti pērā i ngā manu, ā, e whakaaro ana ētahi tāngata kāore pea rātou e rere i te katoa! Nā te mea he taumaha rawa!

Heoi, kāore anō kia tino mārama te āhua o te rere o ngā pterosauria. E whakapae ana hoki ētahi kaipūtaiao kāore pea ngā pterosauria i whakamahi i te rere tere pērā i ngā manu, engari i whanake takitahi ō rātou parirau, ā, i hanga he hanganga ā-rangi ahurei. Ahakoa i hiahiatia he peka kaha mō ngā pterosauria nui kia heke iho i te whenua, engari i taumaha rawa ngā wheua matotoru. Kāore i roa, ka kitea he huarahi! I whanake ngā wheua parirau o ngā pterosauria hei ngongo tuwhera me ngā pakitara angiangi, ā, i taea ai e rātou te "whakaiti taumaha" angitu, ka ngāwari ake, ka mama ake, ā, ka ngāwari ake te rere.

E kī ana ētahi, kāore i te rere noa ngā pterosauria, engari i rere iho anō hoki pērā i ngā ekara ki te hopu ika mai i te mata o ngā moana, ngā roto, me ngā awa. Nā te rere i taea ai e ngā pterosauria te haere tawhiti, te mawhiti i ngā kaipahua me te whakawhanake i ngā kāinga hou.
