There were many species of pterosaurs, ranging from small, such as the Pterodactylus, with only a 5 foot wingspan, to huge, such as the Quetzalcoatlus with a 33 foot wingspan. Quetzalcoatlus weight estimates range from 150 to 550 pounds. Of course, a small pterosaur like Pterodactylus would have only weighed a pound or so, maybe less.

∙ 11y agoThere were thousands of different species of pterosaurs, and different pterosaurs were different weights. In addition, the body plan of pterosaurs is completely different from that of any living animals, so estimating their weights is incredibly difficult. Small pterosaurs would have been a number of ounces to just a couple pounds, whereas the biggest pterosaur, Quetzalcoatlus, weighed either about 150 or 440 to 550 pounds, or anywhere in between, depending on whose weight estimate you use.

How much pterosaurs weight?
There were many different types of pterosaurs. The largest known pterosaur was Quetzalcoatlus, and may have weighed as much as 500 pounds, although it is not certain that it was able to fly. The small pterosoaurs, however, probably weighed about the same amount as average birds do today.
Was a Pterosaur a type of flying reptile?
The only known reptiles to have evolved powered flight were pterosaurs. Thus, all pterosaurs were flying reptiles and all flying reptiles are pterosaurs.
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.
What animals were pterosaurs?
