Pterodactyl

What is the Pterodactyl

Pterodactyls were flying
reptiles of prehistoric times. A
found fossil skeleton shows
that pterodactyls must have
looked like giant birds. But
scientists do not believe that
birds came from pterodactyl
ancestors. Pterodactyls were
more like flying reptiles.
When and where Pterodactyl lived
These majestic creatures lived about
145 to 65.5 million years ago, at the
same time as the dinosaurs and became
extinct around the same time as them.
Remains of pterodactyls have been
found all over the world, from China to
Germany to the Americas..
 Measurements of Pterodactyl
As far as scientists know, pterodactyls were the largest flying
animals that ever lived. Some pterodactyls measured more than 11
meters across with the wings spread out. But the smallest
pterodactyls were as small as a sparrow.
 What Pterodactyl ate
Pterodactyls were meat eaters.
Many had hooked claws and sharp
teeth that they used to grab and hold
onto prey.
