Dinosaurs aren't just for kids, they represent some of the most incredible animals to ever live. Their flying cousins, the pterosaurs (often called pterodactyls) are a diverse group which includes some of the largest flying animals to ever exist, with the largest species standing as tall as an African giraffe. 

Adele Pentland is a palaeontologist on a mission to uncover new species of Australian pterosaur as a part-time PhD candidate at Curtin University. 

Adele has discovered two new species of pterosaur and collaborated with museums in central-western Queensland to promote tourism across the outback.  

The pterosaur fossils she has worked on have been featured in new museum displays at Melbourne Museum, the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum of Natural History (Winton, Queensland) and Kronosaurus Korner (Richmond, Queensland). 

She also hosts her own podcast Pals in Palaeo.
