Pteranodon Standing Beside a Prehistoric Nest
This page illustrates a pteranodon positioned on the edge of a cliff. Beside the flying reptile sits a stone nest filled with fossilized dinosaur eggs.
Nesting Habits of Prehistoric Flying Reptiles
Pteranodons were not dinosaurs but flying reptiles that lived during the Late Cretaceous period. Fossil evidence suggests they nested on high coastal cliffs to keep their eggs safe from terrestrial predators and to take advantage of ocean wind currents for launching into flight.
