Pteranodon on a Sandstone Cliff
A large-crested Pteranodon rests on a rocky outcrop along a high sandstone cliff. Beside the flying reptile sits a simple nest holding a single dinosaur egg, overlooking the open sky.
Facts About Pteranodon Nesting and Cliffs
Pteranodons often inhabited coastal cliffs where updrafts of ocean wind made it easier for their long wings to take off into the air. Nesting on high rock ledges kept their eggs safe from land-bound predators that could not climb steep sandstone walls.
