Pterosaur (Pterodactyl)

Pterodactylus did live in the forests on the islands of Europe between 150.8 and 148.5 million years ago. They would have hunted in these forests, too, and they would have eaten their prey where they killed it.

Well, all syllable questions are based on pronunciation. If you are pronouncing it according to standard American English, there are 4 syllables. Try saying it Tear-oh-dak-till.

Pterodactylus lived between 150.8 and 148.5 million years ago in Europe and parts of Africa. Dinosaurs that lived in those areas at that time include Compsognathus, Archaeopteryx, Europasaurus, Stegosaurus, Torvosaurus, and Ceratosaurus. Other pterosaurs that lived alongside Pterodactylus include Rhamphorhynchus, Anurognathus, Ctenochasma, Germanodactylus, and Gnathosaurus. Large marine reptiles that existed in the seas surrounding the islands where Pterodactylus lived include Ophthalmosaurus and Liopleurodon.

they sat on them, they were bigger than china

Yes and no, it really depends on where they're living, if they were to live in a place where it would be easy to find food, then yes, but if the food is scarce then they wouldn't live that long, tearing a wing or losing a wing is just like losing a leg or an arm we can still live but we would need some help.

Because pterosaurs are not feathered, while caudipteryx's very name means, tail-feather. Microraptor, unlike any known animal in the world, had four feathered wings. Additionally, there are more skeletal similarities between microraptor and caudipteryx, with them both being theropods while pterosaurs were an entirely different group of animals.

Yes here it is:

Pterodactyl is a game where you cant show your teeth and you have to go in a circle and keep saying pterodactyl and if some one squaks at you, its like a reverse in uno. If you show your teeth, your out.

Pterodactylus was a carnivore, so it wouldn't have seemed nice to prey animals such as insects, small fish, lizards, amphibians, and primitive mammals. However, it probably wasn't aggressive to non-prey animals outside of its own species. Very little is known about their social behavior, so we don't know if they would have been aggressive towards each other. In any case, Pterodactylus only had a 5 foot wingspan and wouldn't have been dangerous to any humans.

Pterodactylus lived in a relatively predator free region of Europe. It may have been preyed upon by Compsognathus.

When Tyrannosaurus wasn't hunting, it would have most likely spent most of its day resting. They also would have probably spent some time patrolling their territory to make sure there were no intruders. Some fossil evidence suggests that Tyrannosaurus lived in packs. If so, they would have spent a fair amount of time socializing with other pack members.

This analogy is correct. Paleontology is the studies of fossils and dinosaurs and such which the pterodactyl as botany is the study of plants with a geranium being a plant.

Pterosaurs laid soft shelled eggs, like lizards and crocodiles do today. Also like lizards and crocodiles, they buried their eggs in the ground rather than building a nest.

There are over 135 known genera of pterosaurs, and their fossils have been found all over the world. Thus, depending on the species, pterosaurs lived in all sorts of climates, ranging from wet coastal floodplains to dry deserts.

The wings of Pterodactylus, as well as those of other pterosaurs, were very different than those of modern flying animals like birds and bats. The wings were a complex and dynamic structure that stretched from the pterosaur's arm and elongated fourth finger to its ankle. The wing membrane had muscles, complex circulatory vessels, and support fibers and was covered in skin.

Most Pterodactylus fossils have been found in the Solnhofen limestone of Bavaria, in Germany. A few fragmentary remains of Pterodactylus have been found in other parts of Europe as well as Africa.

Pteradactyl is a synonym for the order Pterosauria, which had multiple families.

Pteradactylus, however, belonged to the family Pterodactylidae. Pterodactylidae was a family belonging to the Pterodactyloidea suborder, the more advanced of the two Pterosauria suborders.

Impossible to say - as we didn't start measuring years until the Romans started their calendar only 2011 years ago.

Pterosaurs were quadrupeds, meaning that they walked on all fours. Their wings had three fingers on the middle of the front edge. When on walking, pterosaurs would fold their wings so that their fingers would rest on the ground and bear some of their weight, and they would walk on all fours in that way. Unlike most animals, they were plantigrade, meaning that they walked on their entire foot instead of just their toes.

The fossil remains of adult Pterodactylus have never been found. However, from the remains of many juveniles, paleontologists have estimated that the adult wingspan was about 5 feet, similar to the wingspan of a flying fox (a type of fruit eating bat).

There is only one species of Pterodactylus, Pterodactylus antiquus. However, there are many different types of pterosaur, or flying reptile. Pterodactylus and Pteranodon are probably the two most famous pterosaurs, and two other famous ones are Quetzalcoatlus and Ramphorhynchus.

It is the scientific version of me

Male Pteranodon had a wingspan of about 18 feet while females had a wingspan of 12 feet. Pterodactylus had a wingspan of only about 5 feet. Thus, Pteranodon was far larger.

No. Pterosaurs such as pterodactyl have been extinct for millions of years.

Pterodactylus lived in Europe and parts of Africa. Its weight is unknown because the body plan of Pterodactylus, like that of all pterosaurs, is so different from that of any modern animal that paleontologists can't estimate its weight with any degree of accuracy.
