How Pterosaurs Fly 3 v+ d4 Q2 q; p" b! uPterosaurs is an extinct clade of flflying reptiles in the order, Pterosauria. They Z$ A1 s2 y1 N; `existed during most of the Mesozoic: from the Late Triassic to the end of, G' F5 J# ~8 i+ Y( H/ |
the Cretaceous. Pterosaurs are the earliest vertebrates known to have evolved* o) _9 G$ @/ u& X; B1 L

other tissues stretching from the ankles to a dramatically lengthened fourth 1 i" ?! S- `: p" Q5 [" U% _4 Ofifinger[1].2 I! G- d; l8 N' n* Y1 q

would have had an awkward sprawling posture, but their joint anatomy and / {+ D* t7 I: W( istrong claws would have made them effffective climbers, and they may have lived x8 y- Y1 q# t7 Ein trees. Basal pterosaurs were insectivores or predators of small vertebrates. , c* c" W2 x( u- Y1 s/ V" ]1 ILater pterosaurs (pterodactyloids) evolved many sizes, shapes, and lifestyles.. W9 [7 i, h+ X9 \% b
Pterodactyloids had narrower wings with free hind limbs, highly reduced tails, + ?* O5 q1 }' X1 U% fand long necks with large heads. On the ground, pterodactyloids walked well on% n" n/ ^* W& Y- L

In life, pterosaurs would have 8 _# o' b! s1 v0 ]had smooth or flfluffffy coats that did not resemble bird feathers. Earlier sug7 c- l: V7 L. ?

to an extreme extent. Pterosaurs spanned a wide range of adult sizes, from ) k" Y( e) O7 X5 e) hthe very small anurognathids to the largest known flflying creatures, including " V1 v: ?. k/ q. |6 B1 HQuetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopteryx[4][5], which reached wingspans of at least+ ~3 i* E4 I, d9 x
nine metres. The combination of endothermy, a good oxygen supply and strong / k1 p- V- v# v. [# P( ?1muscles made pterosaurs powerful and capable flflyers. " L( g) X3 H P9 E5 E6 {2 k( nThe mechanics of pterosaur flflight are not completely understood or modeled1 n. Q- ]& H X1 R
at this time. Katsufumi Sato did calculations using modern birds and concluded 3 P6 n; ]+ B2 w' X6 P* Kthat it was impossible for a pterosaur to stay aloft[6]. In the book Posture, ! ~6 [3 Z6 i; o! @# G' r2 ^Locomotion, and Paleoecology of Pterosaurs it is theorized that they were able M5 U* Y) R3 ~1 p% ?% ~0 E" i* K* K

of Pterosaurs based their research on the now-outdated theories of pterosaurs 0 r( k+ E/ R& W( Obeing seabird-like, and the size limit does not apply to terrestrial pterosaurs,7 I O t& ~! s3 X! P8 ?+ W
such as azhdarchids and tapejarids. Furthermore, Darren Naish concluded that , M# f3 C, g) Z. O2 Batmospheric difffferences between the present and the Mesozoic were not needed% j/ j. d6 n: C5 U8 m
