Runehally16's Answer: pter·o·dac·tyl /ˌterəˈdaktəl/

What it basically refers to is a member of the pterasaur family, which was a group of large, flying dinosaurs with membranous wings and long, slender necks.

Answer 3

A pteraonodon is a member of the order of flying reptiles called pterosaurs that lived during the time of the dinosaurs. Pteranodon was one of the larger pterosaurs, with a 20 foot wingspan, that live in the Cretaceous period. Contrary to popular belief it was not a dinosaur.

Answer 4

'Pterodactyl' is the name of a small subgroup of pterosaurs (flying reptiles that lived at the same time as dinosaurs but were not dinosaurs).

The description of a Pterodactyl is a beaked reptile with two short legs, maybe a tail, a longish neck, and two wings. The wings were a bit like bat's wings as the wings were its arms. They ranged in size.

The name 'Pterodactyl' means 'wing finger'.

Answer 5

Pterodactylus comes from the Greek words "pteros" and "dactyl." It means "wing finger," because the wing of pterosaurs, such as Pterodactylus, was supported by their arm and their elongated fourth finger. The wing stretched from their fourth finger to their ankle.

Answer 6

There is no such thing as a pterodacyl, although there is a pterosaur called pterodactylus which as the wing span the size of a small dog

Answer 7

Pterodactylus means "wing finger" in Greek. This is because the entire wing membrane of Pterodactylus, like that of all pterosaurs, was supported by its fourth finger.
