Best Answer

The wings of Pterodactylus, as well as those of other pterosaurs, were very different than those of modern flying animals like birds and bats. The wings were a complex and dynamic structure that stretched from the pterosaur's arm and elongated fourth finger to its ankle. The wing membrane had muscles, complex circulatory vessels, and support fibers and was covered in skin.
