The Pterodactyl Flying Over a Rocky Valley
The flying reptile crosses the scene with its broad wings outstretched and its small beak pointing ahead. Below it, a stream winds among rocks at the base of steep mountain slopes. The high flight path and rugged valley setting place the prehistoric animal above a varied landscape of water and stone.
Soaring Above Valleys
Valleys can channel moving air along their slopes, and rising currents may help large flying animals remain aloft. Pterosaurs had wings formed by skin membranes supported mainly by an elongated fourth finger. Although often grouped casually with dinosaurs, they belonged to a separate branch of prehistoric reptiles.
