About the Pterodactyl
A pterodactyl was a flying reptile that soared over the heads of the dinosaurs. Its wings were made of skin stretched from its body all the way to a single, very long finger. Even though it lived alongside dinosaurs, it was not actually one of them. Flying reptiles like this were the first backboned animals ever to fly by flapping. Use it in a things-that-fly theme, tracing the path along the wing to the tip of that long finger.
- Pterodactyls were flying reptiles, not true dinosaurs.
