Many people say that dinosaurs cannot fly and that it is Pterosaurs such as Pterodacktylus that can. But I know of one dinosaur that is actually a dinosaur that can fly. It's name is Microraptor gui. It appeared in an episode of Prehistoric Park. It was about the size of a modern day kestral. (I think)
