Best Answer

All known pterosaurs were carnivorous. Some ate insects, some ate fish, and others ate small land animals like lizards, amphibians, and primitive mammals. A few were filter feeders, similar to flamingoes, which eat brine shrimp.

What is the pterodactyl evolution?

Pterodactylus was a pterosaur, and pterosaurs were archosaurs. All pterosaurs died out 65.5 million years ago. Other types of archosaurs include crocodillians, the dinosaurs, and the birds, which evolved from dinosaurs. The pterosaurs were more closely related to the dinosaurs than they were to crocodillians, so the closest living relatives of pterosaurs are the birds. All birds are equally related to pterosaurs.


Are pterosaurs related to dinosaurs?

Yes. Dinosaurs and pterosaurs were both archosaurs, a branch that also include crocodilians.
