Pterosaurs were quadrupeds, meaning that they walked on all fours. Their wings had three fingers on the middle of the front edge. When on walking, pterosaurs would fold their wings so that their fingers would rest on the ground and bear some of their weight, and they would walk on all fours in that way. Unlike most animals, they were plantigrade, meaning that they walked on their entire foot instead of just their toes. Pterosaurs probably didn't run often, preferring to fly away from danger.
