How Pterosaurs Fly& M+ W" v6 H- e/ Z( I
Pterosaurs is an extinct clade of flflying reptiles in the order, Pterosauria. They $ x e( t3 D% qexisted during most of the Mesozoic: from the Late Triassic to the end of 4 o( W, ]" C4 n* q& s, Y! wthe Cretaceous. Pterosaurs are the earliest vertebrates known to have evolved, x% Q; d$ E5 z

Quetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopteryx[4][5], which reached wingspans of at least - ]- y: D5 @9 F$ U! ?0 p8 t/ \nine metres.
