There are 135 or more known genera of pterosaur, and each genus has at least one species. Different species were different sizes. Pterodactylus, a relatively small pterosaur, had an adult wingspan of about 5 feet. Quetzalcoatlus, the largest known pterosaur, had a wingspan of 33 to 36 feet.

∙ 13y agoHow big does plesiosaurs get ? Most fossil finders and people think the biggest of the plesiosaurs are Elasmosaurus which could grow up to about 14 meters long (46 ft long )but they are wrong .The biggest plesiosaur that has ever lived on Earth is Mauisaurus haasti . Mauisaurus was a genus of plesioaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period around 65 million years ago in what is now New Zealand . Mauisaurus remains have all been found in New Zealand's South Island , near Canterbury .That colossal plesiosaur grew up to around 20 meters (66 ft long) with a neck that grew up to 15 meters (50 ft long) .That's what you call the biggest plesiosaur!

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the plesiosaur and on the whale.
The smallest plesiosaurs were about a meter and a bit long - about as long as a small porpoise, but not as massive. The largest long-necked plesiosaurs were about 12-14 meters long, as long as a middle-sized whale but again much less massive. The largest pliosaurs - the large-headed versions of plesiosaurs - were at least 16 meters long, possibly larger, and heavily built. This puts them in the same size league as sperm whales. The biggest baleen whales were bigger than any other animal past or present we know about.

Does pterosaurs eat humans?
No. Pterosaurs are extinct and humans never met the dinosaurs/pterosaurs.
Do pterosaurs fly?
Yes, pterosaurs were flying creatures.
Were there any hyper-carnivorous Pterosaurs?
All known pterosaurs were carnivores. There is no evidence that any pterosaurs ate any plants at all, and thus it is safe to say that at least most, if not all pterosaurs were hypercarnivorous.
Were Pterosaurs carnivores or herbivores?
Herbivores. The brontosaurus and brachiasaurus were herbivores.
Can pterosaurs roar?
no
Was a Pterosaur a type of flying reptile?
The only known reptiles to have evolved powered flight were pterosaurs. Thus, all pterosaurs were flying reptiles and all flying reptiles are pterosaurs.
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.
What animals were pterosaurs?
They are pterodactyls.
Are pterosaurs related to dinosaurs?
Yes. Dinosaurs and pterosaurs were both archosaurs, a branch that also include crocodilians.
What other modern day species are the pterodactyl's related to?
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.
Pterosaurs were flying mammals many of which were the size of todays predatory birds True or false?
False, pterosaurs were flying reptiles.
Where pterosaurs endangered?
The pterosaurs have been extinct since the end of the Cretaceous Period, nearly 65 million years ago.
