Did pterosaur give birth to its young?

Pterosaurs, like most reptiles, laid eggs and didn't give birth to live young. They buried their soft shelled eggs in the sand and after the eggs hatched, the hatchlings were either fed by their parents for a few days or were sustained by a yolk sack for that time. After that, the young Pterodactylus's wings would be developed enough for the creature to fly, and it would then fend for itself.


What organisms did reptiles evolve from 300 million years ago?

Reptiles originated about 320-310 million years ago in the steaming swamps of the Carboniferous period. They evolved from a group of amphibians known as the Labyrinthodonts (because of the maze-like structure of their teeth). These amphibians became increasingly adapted to dry land, and spent less time in the water. Their skin developed dry scales and they also began to lay dry, hard-shelled eggs on land rather than in water. Their offspring hatched as well-developed "mini adults" without having to go through a tadpole stage. As the Earth began to experience a drying trend at the end of the Carboniferous, early reptiles fared better than their amphibian counterparts. Reptiles would become the dominant land animals into the Permian period and throughout the Mesozoic Era in the form of dinosaurs.
