How tall was the pterosaur?

Answer 1

No adult Pterodactylus fossils have ever been found. From the many fossils of juveniles that have been found, paleontologists estimate that Pterodactylus had a wingspan of about 5 feet when fully grown.

Answer 2

Pterosaurs were quadrupedal, using their wings not only to fly, but also to walk. This was also tha case for Pterodactylus. They were less than 1 ft tall when they walked, and they measured about 3 ft long.

Answer 3

There are 135 known genera of pterosaurs, and each genus has at least one species. Different species were different sizes. Pterodactylus, a relatively small pterosaur, stood about 12 inches tall on all fours. Pteranodon, a relatively large pterosaur, would have stood about 6 feet tall on all fours if you include the height of its headcrest. Quetzalcoatlus would have been even taller. Keep in mind that all pterosaurs were quadrupeds.

Answer 4

There are hundreds of different known species of pterosaur. One of the largest ones is Pteranodon, which, when walking on all fours, would have been about as tall as a man if you include its headcrest. One of the smaller pterosaurs was Pterodactylus, which would have stood about 12 inches tall when walking on all fours. Keep in mind that all pterosaurs were quadrupeds.
