Pterosaurs were carnivores, which means they ate meat. There are hundreds of known species of pterosaur, and different species hunted different types of prey. Small pterosaurs hunted insects, while larger ones hunted fish, or small land animals like lizards, amphibians, or primitive mammals.

Does pterosaurs eat humans?
No. Pterosaurs are extinct and humans never met the dinosaurs/pterosaurs.
Are pterosaurs related to dinosaurs?

Can dinosaurers fly?
Dinosaurs could not not fly but pterosaurs lived during the dinosaurs age and they could fly. pterosaurs are not flying dinosaurs they are flying reptiles that lived at the same time as dinosaurs. Some examples of Pterosaurs are: Pterodon Pterodactlus Hopee this helpsss! from Megggannn
Were pterodactyls dinosurs?
Pterodactylus were pterosaurs, and although pterosaurs are often called "flying dinosaurs," they were not dinosaurs. Pterosaurs were flying reptiles that lived at the same time as dinosaurs, but they don't share the same common ancestor as dinosaurs and thus don't fall into the clade Dinosauria.
Does the Pterosaur have a nickname?
Pterosaurs are often called "flying dinosaurs" by the public. However, pterosaurs were not actually dinosaurs because they didn't evolve from the same species that all dinosaurs evolved from, and thus pterosaurs don't fall into the evolutionary clade Dinosauria.
What are dinosours related to?
Pterosaurs were closely related to the dinosaurs. Because birds have descended from dinosaurs, the closest living relatives of pterosaurs are birds. All birds are equally related to pterosaurs.
Are pterosaurs predators?
Yes. Dinosaurs are prey.
Were pteradons considered to be dinosaurs?
pteranodns werent dinosaurs they were pterosaurs because dinosaurs could not fly.
What is the pterodactyl evolution?
Pterodactylus was a pterosaur, and pterosaurs were archosaurs. All pterosaurs died out 65.5 million years ago. Other types of archosaurs include crocodillians, the dinosaurs, and the birds, which evolved from dinosaurs. The pterosaurs were more closely related to the dinosaurs than they were to crocodillians, so the closest living relatives of pterosaurs are the birds. All birds are equally related to pterosaurs.
What other modern day species are the pterodactyl's related to?
Pterodactylus was a pterosaur, and pterosaurs were archosaurs. All pterosaurs died out 65.5 million years ago. Other types of archosaurs include crocodillians, the dinosaurs, and the birds, which evolved from dinosaurs. The pterosaurs were more closely related to the dinosaurs than they were to crocodillians, so the closest living relatives of pterosaurs are the birds. All birds are equally related to pterosaurs.
What kind of dinosaur lived in the water?
No dinosaurs specifically lived in the water. Plesiosaurs, pliosaurs, mosasaurs and ichthyosaurs lived in the water (but are not DINOSAURS). They are reptiles but not dinosaurs. They co-inhabited the planet with dinosaurs, in the same way that the pterosaurs ruled the air. Pterosaurs were not dinosaurs either.
Are pterosaurs dinosaurs?
Pterosaurs are sometimes referred to in the popular media as dinosaurs, but this is incorrect. The term "dinosaur" is properly restricted to a certain group of terrestrial reptiles with a unique upright stance (superorder Dinosauria), and therefore excludes the pterosaurs, as well as the various groups of extinct aquatic reptiles, such as ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and mosasaurs.
