What is in the scene
The larger pterosaur stands on the left and bends its long beak down toward the smaller youngster on the right. The young pterosaur raises a single broad-petaled flower toward the adult. Between and around them are one rounded rock, several fern-like plants, small pebbles, and a few tufts of grass. The rest of the background is plain, so the interaction between the two flying reptiles remains the clear focus of the picture.
Pteranodon facts
Pteranodon was a large pterosaur, which means it was a flying reptile rather than a dinosaur. It lived during the Late Cretaceous period and is known from fossils found in North America. Pteranodon had a long toothless beak and a distinctive bony crest at the back of the skull. Its wings were formed by a membrane supported mainly by an extremely elongated fourth finger. Scientists do not know the exact colors of Pteranodon, so any color scheme used for an illustration is speculative rather than confirmed by fossils.
