They have since attempted to work out what type of pterosaur it was—its taxonomy—and how big the animal was. During the Mesozoic Era, the "age of reptiles" which lasted from 252 to 66 million ...

Pterosaurs dominated Mesozoic skies with their intimidating wingspans. But first, they needed to walk around on the ground. A study published October 4 in the journal Current Biology found that ...

Pterosaurs are the largest flying animals to have ever lived but in a “surprising twist”, scientists have have found their ability to walk on ground is what helped them grow to enormous sizes.

That pterosaurs could fly is only one part of their story. By exploring how they lived in the trees or on the ground, we can begin to understand the roles that they played in ancient ecosystems." ...
