How bib are Pterosaurs?
There are hundreds of known species of pterosaur, and that is only a fraction of the total number of species of pterosaur that existed, as people have only discovered a small percentage of them. Different pterosaur species grew to different sizes. One of the smaller pterosaurs was Pterodactylus, which had an adult wingspan of about 5 feet. The largest well known pterosaur is Quetzalcoatlus, which had a wingspan of 33 to 36 feet. It may have weighed as much as 440 to 550 pounds, but there are no modern animals with a similar body plan to pterosaurs and thus determining their weight is nearly impossible.
