Do any descendants of the pterodactyl exist today?

Answer 1

Pterodactylus died out 40.5 million years ago. All other pterosaurs, or flying reptiles, became extinct by 65.5 million years ago or earlier. However, there are some cryptozoologists (scientists who search for mythical creatures) who believe that a few pterosaurs still exist in remote places.

Answer 2

Remember that Pterodactyls are not dinosaurs but are large fish eating reptiles.

There have many modern day sightings in Europe and Africa and when tribes were questioned and shown illustrations of pterodactyls, many tribes unanimously confirmed that they had personally seen them.

There are pictures on the web, however they are controversial and dubious at best. No evidence of living Pterodactyls have been found with today's modern technology and knowledge of the globe.

Answer 3

Quite possibly there have been several eyewitnesses. I saw it on MonsterQuest there are tons. I think they are.

Answer 4

The closest living relatives of pterodactyl and other pterosaurs are birds. Note, however that birds developed flight independently of pterosaurs.

Answer 5

No. All pterosaurs (the group that contained pterodactyl) went extinct along with the dinosaurs.

Answer 6

Yes. Birds have now been recognized as dinosaurs.

Answer 7

no they dont.
