Matt Cartmill, professor emeritus of evolutionary anthropology at Duke University, said that it's not impossible for there to be living pterosaurs today, but it is highly unlikely.

Could a pterodactyl carry a human?

First of all, they wouldn't be able to carry just anyone. With the largest pterosaurs weighing an estimated 180 – 250 kg (400-550 lbs), they could probably only comfortably lift and carry smaller people.

When was the last pterodactyl alive?

They first appeared during the Triassic period, 215 million years ago, and thrived for 150 million years before going extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period.
