If you looked at the wings and the short tail, Pterodactylus looked a fair amount like a bat. In fact, parts of the Pterodactylus were covered in hair-like pycnofibers, and both pterosaurs and bats walk on all fours. However, Pterodactylus had a long neck, long, narrow jaws, and even a throat pouch, more similar to birds like pelicans.
