Pterosaurs is an extinct clade of flflying reptiles in the order, Pterosauria. They & B1 a L* }4 o( G* g2 Cexisted during most of the Mesozoic: from the Late Triassic to the end of+ S+ R$ A* B( G
the Cretaceous. Pterosaurs are the earliest vertebrates known to have evolved 9 O! _: E) ~ t( B: f" Rpowered flflight. Their wings were formed by a membrane of skin, muscle, and : M& \; s.

Later pterosaurs (pterodactyloids) evolved many sizes, shapes, and lifestyles. 0 P' Q; v" E' ^- ^# z' |- M" t9 vPterodactyloids had narrower wings with free hind limbs, highly reduced tails,0 c$ ]) K9 A6 X7 m$ Z9 Z% ?) h6 K# r

Pterosaurs sported coats of hair-like fifilaments known as pycnofifibers, which" w: K* F2 s, w! D( u9 v
covered their bodies and parts of their wings[3]. In life, pterosaurs would have2 m8 ~( V2 {* B+ \" ^4 D/ U3 r; `: C

Quetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopteryx[4][5], which reached wingspans of at least1 M, v8 q \. I; @) O2 h7 S5 Y
nine metres. The combination of endothermy, a good oxygen supply and strong 9 y( A0 e7 f+ w; E/ W1muscles made pterosaurs powerful and capable flflyers. 4 E7 O" ]2 B% F a1 AThe mechanics of pterosaur flflight are not completely understood or modeled # c) K4 T o9 \" H4 ]* g8 L5 Sat this time. Katsufumi Sato did calculations using modern birds and concluded $ R! V5 t8 r- n* O" Tthat it was impossible for a pterosaur to stay aloft[6]. In the book Posture,8 F- I$ ^+ o e, @/ B
Locomotion, and Paleoecology of Pterosaurs it is theorized that they were able 4 n- K: Q' G4 _0 Z9 |to flfly due to the oxygen-rich, dense atmosphere of the Late Cretaceous period[7].# q" F4 q; W% M+ u- M5 S
However, both Sato and the authors of Posture, Locomotion, and Paleoecology7 ?6 u8 E" R7 g& ~4 n

Mark Witton of the University of Portsmouth and Mike Habib of / [6 S5 G- A( L* ]Johns Hopkins University suggested that pterosaurs used a vaulting mechanism* e8 N; [1 m. ?5 ~( R3 q" |
