Pterosaur (Pterodactyl)

Pterodactylus refers to a specific species of pterosaur. However, people often use the word "pterodactyl" interchangeably with "pterosaur" when they talk about flying reptiles. When discussing flying reptiles in general, the correct word is pterosaur, while Pterodactylus refers to a specific type of pterosaur.

No fossil evidence has been found that suggests that Pterodactylus lived in any kind of dwelling. Because they could both fly and probably climb, they most likely slept in trees, but not necessarily the same tree every night.

When Pterodactylus hatched, they either survived off of a yolk sack or were fed by their parents for just a few days until their wings developed enough that they could fly. Then they would fend for themselves. They would fly to hunt insects until they became large enough to hunt fish, lizards, amphibians, and primitive mammals. If a predator attacked, they would fly away, like a bird. At night they probably slept in trees to stay safe from predators.

Pterodactyl or winged lizards are from the late Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous Period (220 to 65.5 million years ago).They are known to be the first vertibrates to develop the skill for flying.

No known pterosaurs were plant eaters, or herbivores. Some species of pterosaur hunted fish, while others specialized in insects or small animals, and some hunted some combination of these. What a pterosaur hunted depended on the size of the specific species and its size and adaptations.

Because Stegosaurus had much longer hind limbs than forelimbs, it couldn't have traveled very fast on all four legs. At 5.5 tons, it was also too heavy to run or walk on hind legs like hadrosaurs could. Thus, the top speed of an adult Stegosaurus was probably about 4 to 5 miles per hour.

It's not certain how they died, but there are many possibilities. Many people believe that an astroid striked and killed all the prehistoric animals. Another theory is that there was a massive volcano erruption. Another possibility is that after God sent his flood and all but a male and female pterosaur were killed, the survivors were killed as prey.

There are 135 or more known genera of pterosaur, and each genus has at least one species. Different species were different sizes. Pterodactylus, a relatively small pterosaur, had an adult wingspan of about 5 feet. Quetzalcoatlus, the largest known pterosaur, had a wingspan of 33 to 36 feet.

Yes. The herbivores and carnivores and omnivores had flat teeth. They used these for grinding plants and meat for future digestion.

they are carnivores, so that scientifically means they eat meat.

Pterodactylus was small and lightly built, thus it wasn't well adapted to fight in self defense. However, they could have easily flown away from predators as long as they weren't taken completely by surprise.

Pterodactylus isn't known from any adult specimens. However, based on the size and development levels of the many juvenile Pterodactylus that have been found, paleontologists estimate that Pterodactylus had a wingspan of about 5 feet.

it has small bodies

Its Possible that smaller pack hunters would hunt a downed or injured rex i suppose, after all the deinonychus or Utahraptor for example were very smart pack hunters like lions or wolves and supposed to be very sucessful.

http://www.pornotube.com/channels.php?channelId=202&m=1672938 you need one puppet pterodactyl, three live pterodactyls and one girl who is willing to get dominated. the girl should be in reverse cowgirl position on one of the pterodactyls while intermittently performing fellatio on the other two. all the pterodactyls must be cawing and flapping throughout the process. after several minutes of this cawing and flapping, the puppet pterodactyl must enter from stage right periodically, open its mouth and look around.

NOTE: If you do not have a mechanical or marionette puppet pterodactyl, a simple sock puppet will suffice. It should also be noted that this position only works while actually in Jurassic Park, if you are unable to make the trip the pterodactyls can be substituted with guys with webbed fingers and toes.

i think the mass is unknown... well if u mean the dinosaur it is.

No adult Pterodactylus fossils have ever been found. From the many fossils of juveniles that have been found, paleontologists estimate that Pterodactylus had a wingspan of about 5 feet when fully grown.

A "pterodactyl" was one of the two main groups of pterosaurs, or flying reptiles. They weren't dinosaurs. In any case, pterosaurs lived from the late Triassic (about 220 million years ago) to the end of the Cretaceous (about 65 million years ago).

No fossils of adult Pterodactylus have ever been found. However, paleontologists have estimated the size of adults based on the sizes and development levels of the many juvenile Pterodactylus fossils that have been found. They estimate that an adult Pterodactylus's wingspan was about 5 feet. If that is correct, they were probably about 3 feet long.

Pterosaurs (what most people classify as pterodactlys, even though pterodactyls were only one species) were neither birds nor dinosaurs. Birds evolved from dinosaurs, and pterosaurs evolved from the archosarus, an ancestor common to both pterosaurs and dinosaurs. Pterosaurs are thought to have been covered with hair. Their wing structure is different from that of a bird. A bird's flight surface is made up of feathers, and a pterosaurs is made of skin streched between the femur and an elongated fourth finger.

Simply put, pterosaurs can't have been birds because they are in no way related to birds, and they weren't dinosaurs, though they and dinosaurs evolved from a common ancestor.

Answer2: Reptiles That Fly

One intriguing type of ancient reptile was the pterosaur ("winged lizard"), which includes the pterodactyl ("winged finger"). But these were not dinosaurs, nor were they birds. They were flying reptiles and are classified with other reptiles such as dinosaurs and crocodiles. Some of them had wingspans of 25 feet [8 m]. One discovered in Texas in 1975 indicates that some had wingspans of more than 50 feet [15 m]. These were perhaps the largest animals ever to fly.

While pterosaurs had the teeth, skull, pelvis, and hind feet of a reptile, they in no way resembled the reptilian dinosaurs. And while they appeared to be a bird with stiff aerodynamic wings, they were much different. Like birds, the pterosaurs had hollow bones and few flexible joints in wings and ankles. However, a bird's wings use feathers rather than a membrane as was the case with the pterosaurs. And the fourth finger of the pterosaur forelimb extended to support the wing membrane. In the bird the second finger is the principal support of the wing. Excerpt from Awake magazine Jehoovah's Witnesses official website.

Dinosaurs are classified into the reptiles, and many did have scales. Current evidence suggests that Tyrannosaurus did have scales, but some have speculated that young tyrannosaurus may have had primitive feathers.

Pterodactylus fossils are best known from fossils found in the Solnhofen limestone of Bavaria, Germany. Fragmentary remains have been found in other parts of Europe as well as Africa, so their range would have included Europe and part of Africa.

The fossil record of early birds is very incomplete, because their bones are fragile and don't fossilize well. Since feathers don't fossilize very well either, no one really knows what these extinct birds looked like. Modern reconstructions are, therefore, based on educated guesses.

No dinosaurs had wings. You are thinking of Pterosaurs, the most famous being Pterodactylus and Pteranodon.

Edit: '''No dinosaurs had wings.''' That statement is wrong.

There are around 10,000 species of dinosaur alive today with wings, we call them birds. There are many fossils of maniraptorian dinosaurs that show wings.

The basal bird Archeopteryx, the dromeosaur Microraptor and the troodontid Anchiornis are some examples.

The famous Velociraptor had quill knobs on its ulna, which show that it too had ''wings''.

Wings in dinosaurs are only found in the theropod group, maniraptora.

If your thinking of pterosaurs like Pterodactylus and Pteranodon then those are not considered dinosaurs.

Pterosaurs were quadrupedal, using their wings not only to fly, but also to walk. This was also tha case for Pterodactylus. They were less than 1 ft tall when they walked, and they measured about 3 ft long.

The Jurassic is the second of the three periods of the Mesozoic. It was named for the Jura Mountains, where many of its fossils have been found.
