Pteradactyl is actually scientifically named pterodactylus, despite the fact that not many people know this. Pterodactylus lived during the late Jurassic period. It had a long slender head and beak with small sharp teeth. Pterodactylus also had a short tail and webbed fingers.

Pteranodon was larger than the pterodactylus. It was tailless and lived during the cretaceous period. It had a long toothless beak, a bony crest and large wing span.
