What are the pterosaur's prey?
There are over 135 different known genera of pterosaurs, and each species would have had different types of prey. Small pterosaurs like Pterodactylus probably ate insects, small land animals, and fish. Large pterosaurs such as Pteranodon probably ate fish, while other large pterosaurs like Quetzalcoatlus would have eaten small land animals, albeit larger than the prey of Pterodactylus.
Where is a pterosaurs habitat found?
There were hundreds or thousands of different species of pterosaurs, and different types lived in different places at different times. Thus, some types of pterosaurs would have existed in each type of habitat that existed at that time. Some environments would have included deserts, coastal floodplains, swamps, and somewhat dry woodlands.
Where did the pterodactyl used to live?
Pterodactylus lived in Europe about 150 million years ago. However, there were many other species of flying reptiles, or pterosaurs. Different species lived in different places, so pterosaurs lived all over the world.
How long are pterosaurs?
There are over 135 known genera of pterosaurs, and each genus has at least one species. Each species would have been a different size, so I can't tell you the lengths of all pterosaurs. Pterodactylus, a relatively small pterosaur, was probably 3 to 5 feet long, while Quetzalcoatlus, the largest well known pterosaur, was about 25 feet long.
What other modern day species are the pterodactyl's related to?
Pterodactylus was a pterosaur, and pterosaurs were archosaurs. All pterosaurs died out 65.5 million years ago. Other types of archosaurs include crocodillians, the dinosaurs, and the birds, which evolved from dinosaurs. The pterosaurs were more closely related to the dinosaurs than they were to crocodillians, so the closest living relatives of pterosaurs are the birds. All birds are equally related to pterosaurs.
What was a pterosaurs diet like?
Pterodactylus were carnivores, and had wingspans of about 5 feet. While young, they would have hunted insects, but in adulthood they would have hunted small fish and land animals such as lizards, amphibians, and primitive mammals.
Does pterosaurs eat humans?
No. Pterosaurs are extinct and humans never met the dinosaurs/pterosaurs.
What is the pterodactyl evolution?
Pterodactylus was a pterosaur, and pterosaurs were archosaurs. All pterosaurs died out 65.5 million years ago. Other types of archosaurs include crocodillians, the dinosaurs, and the birds, which evolved from dinosaurs. The pterosaurs were more closely related to the dinosaurs than they were to crocodillians, so the closest living relatives of pterosaurs are the birds. All birds are equally related to pterosaurs.
What was the diet of a pterosaurs?
All pterosaurs were carnivorous, however there were many different species, and different species hunted different prey. Some hunted fish, while others ate insects or small land animals like lizards, amphibians, and primitive mammals.
Do pterosaurs fly?
Yes, pterosaurs were flying creatures.
Were Pterosaurs carnivores or herbivores?
Herbivores. The brontosaurus and brachiasaurus were herbivores.
How much did a pterosaurs weigh?
There were many species of pterosaurs, ranging from small, such as the Pterodactylus, with only a 5 foot wingspan, to huge, such as the Quetzalcoatlus with a 33 foot wingspan. Quetzalcoatlus weight estimates range from 150 to 550 pounds. Of course, a small pterosaur like Pterodactylus would have only weighed a pound or so, maybe less.
