Questions and Answers

Was Pteranodon actually a dinosaur?
No, Pteranodon was a flying reptile, or pterosaur, which lived alongside dinosaurs during the Mesozoic era but belonged to a distinct group.
How did Pteranodons hunt for food along ocean bays?
Pteranodons used their long, toothless beaks to scoop up fish directly from the ocean surface while swooping low over the water.
Why did Pteranodons nest high up on rocky cliffs?
Nesting on high coastal ledges protected their eggs from land predators and provided strong wind currents to help them launch into flight.
