How many pterosaurs are there?

Answer 1

there are only one species of pterodactyls, but there were other species that were closely related to it though so many kinds but different adaptations , looks, feeding patterns and all sorts of things.

Answer 2

There are over 135 known genera of pterosaurs. Each genus has at least one species. We also know that we have barely scratched the surface when it comes to discovering the many types of pterosaur species that existed. There were probably many thousands of different pterosaur species, but we will never discover all of them because of the imperfection of the fossil record (unless someone invents a time machine).

Answer 3

There is only one species of Pterodactylus, and it is Pterodactylus antiquus. However, there are at least 135 known genera of pterosaur, or flying reptile, known, and each genus has at least one species.

Answer 4

I believe you are referring to pterosaurs, which are not dinosaurs, but are a distinct group of flying reptiles. Nobody knows how many actually existed, and this is aggravated because of the poor fossil record of pterosaurs. There are 168 pterosaur genera listed on Wikipedia's list of pterosaur genera, which means that there are even more than 168 known species. There were far, far, far more than that, however, which simply haven't ever been discovered.

Answer 5

There is only one species in the genus Pterodactylus, and it is Pterodactylus antiquus. However, there are at least 134 genera of pterosaurs, or flying reptiles, that have been discovered and are considered valid. Each genus has at least one species. Additionally, people have only discovered a very small fraction of the total number of pterosaur species that existed.

Answer 6

There is only one accepted species in the genus Pterodactylus. Its Latin name is Pterodactylus antiquus.
