There were hundreds or thousands of different species of pterosaur. Although they all were carnivores, meaning that they hunted other animals for food, different species had different types of prey. Depending on the species they would have hunted insects, fish, or small land animals like lizards, amphibians, and primitive mammals.

As is the main function of any bone, the main function of the bones in a pterosaur's fingers was to support the finger's structure. Pterosaurs had four fingers on each wing. Three of the fingers stuck out the front of the wing and were used for walking, as pterosaurs were quadrupedal. The extremely elongated fourth finger supported part of the front edge of the wing.

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.
