Pterodactyls were a particular type of small, flying reptile. Nobody knows the specific reason pterodactyls died out. However, flying reptiles, or pterosaurs, continued to exist until 65.5 million years ago. At that point, an asteroid crashed into Earth, throwing dust into the air that blocked sunlight long enough to collapse the food chain and wipe out not only dinosaurs, but pterosaurs as well.
