The translated text while preserving html tags: "Winged gliding reptiles called kuehneosaurus lived in what is now known as the Mendip Hills in Somerset, England, during the Triassic period, about 210 million years ago. Kuehneosaurus appeared like lizards, but they were closer relatives to crocodiles and dinosaurs."
They are small animals that can fit neatly in the palm of your hand. There are two species, namely Kuehneosaurus latus and Kuehneosuchus latissimus. One has wide wings, while the other has shorter wings, made of a layer of stretched skin above its elongated ribs, which allows them to fly from tree to tree.
Like the modern flying lizard Draco from Southeast Asia, they are likely to roam on land and climb trees to search for insect prey. When startled, or if they see a delicious flying insect passing by, they can jump into the air and land safely up to 10 meters away. The authors studied a number of reptile fossils from three limestone mines, Emborough, Batscombe, and Highcroft, which were the largest sub-tropical islands at the time, called Mendip Palaeoisland.
Besides Kuehneosaurus latus and Kuehneosuchus latissimus, they noted the existence of reptiles with complex teeth, the trilophosaur Variodens, and the aquatic Pachystropheus that likely lived like modern otters, probably consuming shrimp and small fish. These creatures fell or their bones were swept into caves and cracks in limestone.
