Pterodactylus fossils have been found ranging from 150.8 to 148.5 million years ago. That means that they probably existed for about 2.3 million years.

How many pterodactyls lived in a group?

Pterodactyls, specifically the species Pterodactylus, are believed to have lived in groups, often referred to as colonies. Estimates suggest that these colonies could consist of dozens to potentially hundreds of individuals, especially during breeding seasons. Fossil evidence indicates that they may have roosted together in large numbers, similar to modern-day seabirds. However, the exact number of individuals in a group can vary based on species and environmental factors.

How did pterodactyls get extinct?

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.
