Pterosaurs lived in the late Jurassic Period throughout the end of the Cretaceous Period. They lived in coastal areas where there would be salt water and where they could find fish.They could have been found in America, Africa, Japan, China, Guam, and Germany.

There are over 135 known genera of pterosaurs, and each genus has at least one species. Fossils of pterosaurs have been found from all over the world, so when they existed, pterosaurs lived on all of the continents, even Antarctica, because Antarctica wasn't covered in ice like it is today.
