Which dinosaurs were capable of flight?

Answer 1

While pterosaurs, the flying reptiles that lived during the Age of Dinosaurs, were not dinosaurs, paleontologists now classify modern birds as dinosaurs. There was also the relatively recent discovery of microraptor, a small feathered relative of velociraptor that may have had a limited flight capability.

Answer 2

The dinosaurs able to take flight were the Anhanguera, Cearadactylus, Ctenochasma, Dsungaripterus, Gnathosaurus, Ornithocheirus, Ornithodesmus, Pteranodon, Pterodactylus, Pterodaustro, Quetzalcoatlus, and the Tropeognathus

Answer 4

No dinosaurs could fly. Pterosaurs (flying 'reptiles'), sometimes called pterodactyls, lived at the same time as the dinosaurs (Mesozoic Era) but in fact come from a separate class of vertebrates. Some genera of pterosaurs include:

Ornithocheirus

Pteranodon

Pterodactylus

Quetzalcoatlus

Rhamphorrhynchus

Sordes

Tapejara

Answer 5

There were pterosaurs such as pterodactyl and pteranodon, but these techically were no dinosaurs even though they were often referred to as such.

However, nowadays many scientists consider birds to be dinosaurs.

Answer2: Reptiles That Fly

One intriguing type of ancient reptile was the pterosaur ("winged lizard"), which includes the pterodactyl ("winged finger"). But these were not dinosaurs, nor were they birds. They were flying reptiles and are classified with other reptiles such as dinosaurs and crocodiles. Some of them had wingspans of 25 feet [8 m]. One discovered in Texas in 1975 indicates that some had wingspans of more than 50 feet [15 m]. These were perhaps the largest animals ever to fly.

While pterosaurs had the teeth, skull, pelvis, and hind feet of a reptile, they in no way resembled the reptilian dinosaurs. And while they appeared to be a bird with stiff aerodynamic wings, they were much different. Like birds, the pterosaurs had hollow bones and few flexible joints in wings and ankles. However, a bird's wings use feathers rather than a membrane as was the case with the pterosaurs. And the fourth finger of the pterosaur forelimb extended to support the wing membrane. In the bird the second finger is the principal support of the wing.

Answer 6

No Dinosaurs could fly, you may be thinking of Pterosaurs. A few Pterosaurs are: Pterodactylus, Pteranodon, Dimorphodon, and Quetzalcoatlus.

Answer 7

none of the dinosaurs were able to fly.
