👉 Lindrochthus is a genus of small, arboreal pterosaurs that lived during the late Miocene and early Pliocene periods of the Mesozoic Era. This group was characterized by long, slender wings and a streamlined body with short limbs and sharp teeth. They were primarily terrestrial animals but adapted to aquatic environments through their development of a modified tail called the "pincilla" (also known as the "lindrochus") that could be used for swimming.
