A Pterosaur in Midair
Seen from the side, the flying reptile stretches both wings outward as it travels through the air. Its streamlined head ends in a long beak, while the tail extends behind the body. No landscape or other objects surround the animal.
How Pterosaurs Flew
A pterosaur wing consisted mainly of a skin membrane supported by an exceptionally long fourth finger. Fossil discoveries also show that many pterosaurs had hairlike body coverings called pycnofibers, which may have helped them retain warmth.
Possible Natural Colors of a Pterosaur
- Body covering: exact colors are unknown; brown, sandy tan, rust, or gray are reasonable natural shades
- Wing membranes: muted tan, brown, or gray, perhaps differing slightly from the body
- Beak: dark gray, brown, or nearly black, similar to keratin-covered beaks in living animals
- Eyes: dark brown or black
- Claws: charcoal gray, dark brown, or black
