- In short: A new species of pterosaur — a flying reptile that existed in the age of dinosaurs — has been discovered.
- The study was based on fossils found in outback western Queensland.
- What's next? The discovery adds to our understanding of the winged creatures and the limited fossil record of them in Australia.
