What is a pterodactyls habitat?
Habitat: Shores of Europe and South Africa. Historical Period: Late Jurassic (150-144 million years ago) Size and Weight: Wingspan of three feet and two to 10 pounds. Diet: Insects, meat and fish. Distinguishing Characteristics: Long beak and neck; short tail; wings of skin attached to three-fingered hands.
Did the pterodactyl live alone?
Instead of ranging freely as loners, these pterosaurs probably laid eggs together. In this case, they also died together, probably during a big storm, Wang says. This would have happened some 120 million years ago, in the early Cretaceous period.
