There are over 135 known genera of pterosaurs, and each genus has at least one species. Each species would have been a different size, so I can't tell you the lengths of all pterosaurs. Pterodactylus, a relatively small pterosaur, was probably 3 to 5 feet long, while Quetzalcoatlus, the largest well known pterosaur, was about 25 feet long.

What is the closest living animal to the pterodactyl?

If you looked at the wings and the short tail, Pterodactylus looked a fair amount like a bat. In fact, parts of the Pterodactylus were covered in hair-like pycnofibers, and both pterosaurs and bats walk on all fours. However, Pterodactylus had a long neck, long, narrow jaws, and even a throat pouch, more similar to birds like pelicans.


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.
