When and where did pterodactyls live?

Fossils of pterodactyls like this one have mostly been found in the Bavaria region of Germany. Pterodactyls are an extinct species of winged reptiles (pterosaurs) that lived during the Jurassic period (about 150 million years ago.)

What year did pterodactyls live in?

Like their cousins the dinosaurs, pterosaurs stand out as one of evolution's great success stories. 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.
