How Pterosaurs Fly( A# ], }& ^& r' L( y+ n
Pterosaurs is an extinct clade of flflying reptiles in the order, Pterosauria. They ! q7 F( U/ n' `5 I, K3 Wexisted during most of the Mesozoic: from the Late Triassic to the end of U- G# C6 g8 M& P0 V5 ]- `
the Cretaceous. Pterosaurs are the earliest vertebrates known to have evolved * c& z1 D4 a a: `powered flflight. Their wings were formed by a membrane of skin, muscle, and ( q/ p( s, d! z# Uother tissues stretching from the ankles to a dramatically lengthened fourth1 ?2 G9 j/ F5 \4 i }

would have had an awkward sprawling posture, but their joint anatomy and 1 z$ O% _! e( q0 ystrong claws would have made them effffective climbers, and they may have lived [8 u7 y) Y8 m E1 w
in trees. Basal pterosaurs were insectivores or predators of small vertebrates.* _4 P& n0 k/ V1 e' V. M
Later pterosaurs (pterodactyloids) evolved many sizes, shapes, and lifestyles.1 ~# @; Z6 f8 W0 V0 _2 r1 |$ H6 P
Pterodactyloids had narrower wings with free hind limbs, highly reduced tails,! o# F, `9 S m r
and long necks with large heads. On the ground, pterodactyloids walked well on# p/ G5 A0 W& L

Pterosaurs sported coats of hair-like fifilaments known as pycnofifibers, which2 h4 [" f& Z$ \
covered their bodies and parts of their wings[3]. In life, pterosaurs would have" U9 t! }$ H( X. ?. @7 H' L' e* q) M% s

Katsufumi Sato did calculations using modern birds and concluded 7 v, c, {+ R! B0 ? zthat it was impossible for a pterosaur to stay aloft[6].
