Scientists pointed out that the newly discovered pterosaur skulls streamlined shape and a special structure on the lower jaw, are currently living on Earth with the cut mouth gull very similar. Accordingly, they conclude that pterosaurs may also cut the mouth and gulls, as by skimming the surface of the water fishing.
