Is what we know about it accurate with how Papo looks, is the head right? No. Ludo's beak is broader and more rounded, and it has a much smaller crest. And no driftwood lodged in its jaws www.pterosaur.co.uk/species/LCP/Ornitho/ludodactylus.htmBut, then again, the papo skull (and the one in JP3) doesn't look much like Pteranodon either

By the way, I saw this specimen first hand. The story is, that that piece of woody material preserved in the jaws was the cause of death in this individual. It is wedged between the left and right mandibles, so probably the pterosaur accidently got it lodged there while skimming the water for fish (like the tiddler preserved below the antorbital fenestra, but bigger). It pierced the gullet and wedged the mouth open. A pterosaur that can't snap or swallow is a soon to be dead pterosaur... Poor fellow...
