Pterodactyls and related pterosaurs were the first vertebrates known to have evolved powered flight. Utilizing lightweight, hollow bones and expansive wing membranes supported by an elongated fourth finger, these creatures caught rising thermal air currents to soar effortlessly over deep gorges and coastal cliffs.
