Coastal Flight of the Pteranodon
A pteranodon with outstretched wings soars past towering sea stacks rising out of the water. The surrounding ocean setting features rolling waves illuminated by sunset light.
Thermal Gliding along Rocky Coasts
Pteranodons relied on updrafts generated by ocean winds pushing against coastal cliffs and sea stacks to stay aloft without wasting energy. Their light, hollow bones and expansive wing membranes allowed them to glide effortlessly over open water for hours. Nesting on high rock pillars protected their offspring from ground-dwelling predators.
