A Pterodactyl Drying Its Wings
Seen from the front, the pterodactyl stands at the water's edge with both wings fully extended in the sunlight. A mountain range rises beyond the water, while small groups of grass appear in the lower corners of the riverside landscape.
Warmth, Water, and Wing Membranes
Pterosaur wings were flexible membranes supported mainly by an elongated finger, not feathered wings like those of modern birds. Sunshine can warm an animal and help moisture evaporate, so spreading a broad membrane would expose more of its surface to light and moving air.
