Pterodactyl on a Rocky Mountain Peak
Pterodactyls were flying reptiles that inhabited coastal regions and mountain cliffs during the Jurassic period. Perched atop high rock formations, these creatures could easily catch thermal wind currents to take flight and scan the surrounding landscape for food.
Fascinating Facts About Flying Reptiles
Unlike birds, pterodactyls had wings formed by a skin membrane stretching from an elongated fourth finger to their hind legs. High mountain cliffs provided these reptiles with natural protection from land predators and allowed them to launch into the air with minimal energy.
