Pterosaur

by Sheldon Morris

These are hollow-boned flying and gliding reptiles. They have long beaks filled with numerous teeth, and reptilian arm structures with skin webbing which constitutes their wings.

PTERODACTYL, Small Pterosaur

The pterodactyl are batlike reptiles with wingspans of 8 to 1o feet. They hunt insects, birds, and small animals, gliding slowly along air currents to spot their prey. If driven by great hunger, they may attack human-sized creatures.
