There were no true dinosaurs that could fly. But two flying creatures that lived during the dinosaur times were Pterodactyl and Ornithocheirus.

Are animals that swim or fly Dinosaurs?
Dinosaurs were land dwellers, though some probably could swim it was not their main form of locomotion. However in the time of the dinosaurs there were also two classes of marine reptile that are now extinct. There where Icthyosaurs, which resembled dolphins, and Plesiosaurs, which had paddles for limbs, but these were separate from dinosaurs. As to flying, there were also flying reptiles during that time called pterosaurs. Again these were a group of animals separate from, but related to dinosaurs. However, one group of flying animals than many scientists now consider to be a branch of dinosaurs are the birds.
Moshi monsters What is the green dinosaurs name?
There r actually two the flying one is gurgle and the one with the shell is pooky
Did all flying dinosaurs have feathers?
For all we know, ALL the dinosaurs had some sort of feathers, even if they were just little downy patches here and there. However, the most likely to be fledged are the ones ancestral to the birds. These would be those which travelled on two legs.
What order of dinosaurs did birds evolve from?
Birds evolved from a group of Saurischian dinosaurs known as theropods. The theropods include dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, and Deinonychus. Theropods were predators who walked on two feet and had relatively small arms. Some of these dinosaurs were small and started growing feathers, at first to keep warm. Eventually these feathers became adapted for flying.
What are two dinosaurs?
There are way more than just two dinosaurs. If you're asking for two examples of dinosaurs, then I'll just say Tyrannosaurus Rex and Apatosaurus.
What is another for a dinosaurs with two legs?
Dinosaurs that walk on two legs are called "bipeds". The term applies to all animals that walk on two legs.
Were all carnivore dinosaurs walk on two legs?
Yes. All dinosaurs were two legged to run fast and catch prey.
Which two dinosaurs were 10 meters long?
There were a lot more than two dinosaurs that had a length of about 10 meters. Two examples include Neovenator and Amargasaurus.
What were the names of the first dinosaurs that contributed to the study of the dinosaurs?
Two of the earliest dinosaurs to be named were the Iguanodon (a plant-eater) and Megalosaur (a meat-eater).
How do birds and dinosaurs relate?
Birds branched of from a group of dinosaurs called theropods (the two legged dinosaurs consisting mostly of carnivores) in the late Jurassic period.
Where can a flying snake be found?
Yes, and in fact they are all around us - the birds. Birds are descended from dinosaurs and are therefore dinosaurs themselves, and since most birds can fly, they can be accurately described as flying dinosaurs.
What were the flying dinosaurs adaptations?
There are two possible meanings for "flying dinosaurs" First are the pterosaurs, which included animals such as pterodactyl. These were no truly dinosaurs bu a branch of related reptiles. These reptiles had a very lightweight build that included hollow bones. Most of a pterosaur's size was in its wings, which consisted membranes of skin that connected the arms and elongated fingers to the hind limbs. They were best suited for flying and could be rather awkward on the ground. Then there are birds. While not typically though of as dinosaurs, bird are truly a branch of these animals, evolved from carnivores related to velociraptor. Like pterosaurs birds are lightly built and have hollow bones. Birds have lost the teeth and long tails of their ancestors as they are lighter without them. Instead of delicate skin membranes, birds use feathers as a flight surface. This gives them an advantage over pterosaurs as damaged feathers can easily be replaced. Birds have also developed an efficient and complex respiratory system and high metabolism that actually surpass those of mammals. These adaptations are helpful as flying demands a lot of energy. Elements of these have been found in other, non-avian dinosaurs.
