Best Answer

Pterosaurs laid soft shelled eggs, like lizards and crocodiles do today. Also like lizards and crocodiles, they buried their eggs in the ground rather than building a nest.

Did pterosaur give birth to its young?

Pterosaurs, like most reptiles, laid eggs and didn't give birth to live young. They buried their soft shelled eggs in the sand and after the eggs hatched, the hatchlings were either fed by their parents for a few days or were sustained by a yolk sack for that time. After that, the young Pterodactylus's wings would be developed enough for the creature to fly, and it would then fend for itself.
