Pterosaurs laid leathery eggs and didn't stay to incubate them. The young were born precocial, or capable of fending for themselves. Within days of birth they could fly, and would then be able to escape predators and hunt.

Were there any hyper-carnivorous Pterosaurs?

All known pterosaurs were carnivores. There is no evidence that any pterosaurs ate any plants at all, and thus it is safe to say that at least most, if not all pterosaurs were hypercarnivorous.


What are the characteristics of pterosaurs?

Pterosaurs probably were not social, although they may have gathered during breeding season. Many of them had elaborate crests, which were probably meant to attract mates. When they laid eggs, they probably did not incubate them or protect them, and young pterosaurs had to fend for themselves right away. Fossil evidence suggests they would have been capable of flight within days of birth. Pterosaurs all seem to be carnivorous. Small pterosaurs would have eaten insects and small vertebrates, while large pterosaurs like Pteranodon and Geosternbergia ate fish. The largest known pterosaur, Quetzalcoatlus, however, did not live near a body of water that would provide enough fish to eat, so their diet is unknown.
