Nyctosaurus Above the Mountains
The prehistoric flying reptile holds its wings fully spread as it passes over a mountain range. Clouds gather around the peaks, and a small round sun with visible rays appears higher in the sky.
A Specialist of Open Skies
Nyctosaurus is known from sediments left by a vast inland sea that once covered part of North America. Adults developed an extraordinary branching crest on the head, and their long, narrow wings were well suited to efficient soaring over open water.
