Later pterosaurs (pterodactyloids) evolved many sizes, shapes, and lifestyles.1 J6 U9 ?( g6 B" z
Pterodactyloids had narrower wings with free hind limbs, highly reduced tails,0 O1 S; q$ W9 D' w: _6 C- A- p2 q

Pterosaurs sported coats of hair-like fifilaments known as pycnofifibers, which) e8 k7 [$ J& X" d- S6 F/ ] o+ k
covered their bodies and parts of their wings[3]. In life, pterosaurs would have( m% k( b% O7 [6 H9 e# P1 F# F
had smooth or flfluffffy coats that did not resemble bird feathers. Earlier sug4 r* s) J% I) r% G/ U

the very small anurognathids to the largest known flflying creatures, including, U3 F1 p- P8 U
Quetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopteryx[4][5], which reached wingspans of at least ( e& B3 B8 s# hnine metres. The combination of endothermy, a good oxygen supply and strong ; R+ L) b4 t! ~+ g5 Q1 ~1muscles made pterosaurs powerful and capable flflyers.; r" D% U/ m# l; {
The mechanics of pterosaur flflight are not completely understood or modeled; k- U, y! a1 W+ R( P
at this time. Katsufumi Sato did calculations using modern birds and concluded 5 ^7 d9 o! y3 M. r! N, u7 wthat it was impossible for a pterosaur to stay aloft[6]. In the book Posture, ; i2 t: f2 Z+ o2 @Locomotion, and Paleoecology of Pterosaurs it is theorized that they were able & e8 W4 B, v0 {& Uto flfly due to the oxygen-rich, dense atmosphere of the Late Cretaceous period[7]. % w. k3 ^) u2 p4 p/ m+ ?However, both Sato and the authors of Posture, Locomotion, and Paleoecology # E' V( v!
