flying reptiles are in fact birds. as animals are now being classified into monophyletic groups, we must include birds as reptiles as well because they came from a common ancester
pterodactyl was NOT a dinosaur it was from a group of flying creatures called pterosaurs it was a carnivore
No, pteranodons were not omnivores. They were large flying reptiles from the late Cretaceous period that primarily fed on fish. Their long, sharp beaks were well-suited for catching and eating fish while in flight.
No known species of dinosaur was ever able to fly despite birds being believed to have evolved from them. The flying reptiles such as the pterodactylus, tapejara, geosternbergia and ornithocheirus etc are collectively known as 'pterosaurs'. Their taxonomy is considered different from the dinosaurs. The largest of the pterosaurs to be discovered so far is the Quetzalcoatlus.
An example of structures with different origin but same function is the wings of a bird and the wings of a butterfly. These structures have evolved independently in birds and insects to serve the same function of flying, but they have different origins in terms of their underlying anatomical structures and developmental pathways.
There is no widely recognized term "petrodactyl." However, "Pterodactyl" refers to a group of extinct flying reptiles. "Petrododon" is not a recognized scientific term, but "Petronodon" may refer to a genus of extinct sharks that lived during the Cretaceous period.
The only known reptiles to have evolved powered flight were pterosaurs. Thus, all pterosaurs were flying reptiles and all flying reptiles are pterosaurs.
No only one Flying reptile
The singular is reptile, the plural is reptiles, and the plural possessive is reptiles' (e.g. The reptiles' owners did not know their origin.)
Pterosaurs
"Reptilia" is the origin of it, which is a latin word.
There are no dinosaurs that can fly. But there are flying reptiles like the pteradon.
they fly and Pterodactyl and other Pterodons were flying reptiles.
None. There were flying reptiles, but they weren't dinosaurs.
False, pterosaurs were flying reptiles.
The only reptiles capable of true flight were pterosaurs.
Pterosaurs were flying reptiles related to dinosaurs.
