A Pteranodon Gliding Above Volcanic Terrain
Pteranodons were iconic flying reptiles of the Late Cretaceous period. Traveling over island chains formed by active volcanoes, these airborne creatures used warm rising air currents to maintain altitude over coastal landscapes without spending excessive energy flapping.
Coastal Life of Ancient Flying Reptiles
Pteranodons nested near oceanic waters where island topographies provided safety from terrestrial predators. The combination of open sea winds and high elevation coastal cliffs allowed them to launch into flight with ease.
