Pterosaurs flying reptiles. This category includes:
Pteranodon
Pterodactylus
Dimorphodon
Rhamphorhynchus
Quetzalcoatlus
plesiasaurs are water dwelling Nessie's
Answer:
They are correctly called Pterosaurs, although they are more commonly refered to as Pteradactyls. There are also prehistoric gliding lizards, but I don't think that's what you're talking about.
AnswerWhile the general public is still under the impression that Pterosaurs were reptiles, there is overwhelming evidence that they were, if fact, warm blooded and thus not reptiles. Flying in a hugely energy intensive task and there are very few cold-blooded animals capable of flight even today- most moths and butterflies are warm blooded, heating their bodies with the waste energry of the flight process. It is doubtful whether there ever was or ever will be a truly flying reptile. Evidence that they were warm blooded includes but is not limited to the evidence showing that dinosaurs were cold blooded (predator/prey ratio of bird-of-prey style pterasaurs, bone spots, rate of evoloutionary dispersion, etc.) as well as the requirement that they be warm blooded to be capable of surviving in their ecological roles without displacement, and many other factors. For more information read The Dinosaur Heresies by Robert Bakker PhD.
A bird. Since birds are members of the clade Dinosauria (specifically Aves, etc.), and most can fly, they would be the flying dinosaurs. It is possible that some closely related dinosaurs (such as Rahonavis, etc.) could fly while not being members of the clade Aves (and therefore, not birds).
Answer2: Paleontologist have unearthed bones of many smaller dinosaurs. Some not much larger than a chicken. However, the pterosaur (winged lizard) were not actually dinosaurs nor were they birds. They were flying reptiles and are classified with other reptiles such as dinosaurs and crocodiles. Some had wingspans of more than 50 feet [15m]. These were perhaps the largest animals ever to fly. While the pterosaurs appeared to be a bird with stiff aerodynamic wings, they were much different. A bird's wings use feathers rather than a membrane as was the case with the pterosaurs.
The flying reptiles that lived during the time of the dinosaurs were called pterosaurs, meaning "winged lizard". Some examples include Pteranodon, Quetzalcoatlus, and Rhamphorhynchus. They were not actually dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are strictly terrestrial.
They also could be called Butterfly lizards because they can fly while trying to get away from their enemies
dinosaur can't fly the creature you may be thinking of might be pterodactyl these creatures are not dinosaurs they are called pterosaurs
NO actual dinosaurs could fly. All winged reptiles (called pterosaurs) are a different group of animals who lived in the Mesozoic WITH the dinosaurs.

A Dragon
Yes the flying Lizard or flying dragon is a reptile. The flying dragon is found in southeast Asia and does not give live birth but from eggs. Below is the classification of the flying dragon.

The scientific name of flying lizard is "Draco rizali" . Jose Rizal named this animal.

Komodo Dragons can walk on walls, yes. However, despite it's name, a Komodo Dragon is not a dragon at all. It is a lizard, hence it's other name: The Monitor Lizard.
