Here are some important things to know before you color this Pterodactyl dinosaur coloring page. The pterodactyl is a flying dinosaur that lived during the time of the dinosaurs. Pterodactyls were different from other dinosaurs because they could fly. They had wings made of skin and muscle, and they used these wings to fly. Pterodactyls were the only flying dinosaurs, and they were the only animals that could fly during the time of the dinosaurs. This Pterodactyl dinosaur coloring page helps you see all of that.
Pterodactyls were very small, and they weighed about as much as a chicken. They lived in warm climates, and they ate insects and small animals. Pterodactyls were not dangerous to humans, but they were probably dangerous to other dinosaurs. Scientists know about pterodactyls because they have found fossils of pterodactyls. Fossils are the remains of animals that have been preserved in rocks. Scientists study fossils to learn about pterodactyls and other animals that lived long ago.
Pterodactyls were one of the most feared predators of the Mesozoic era. But with their expert wings and razor-sharp teeth, who could blame them? Pterodactyls were carnivorous dinosaurs that fed on small mammals, reptiles, and even other Pterodactyls! These ferocious predators could grow to be over 30 feet long and have a wingspan of up to 40 feet. That’s the size of a small airplane! While they couldn’t fly as well as modern birds, they were still expert flyers and could reach speeds of over 60 miles per hour. Thanks to their tremendous size and speed, Pterodactyls were one of the most successful groups of dinosaurs and lived on every continent except Antarctica. So next time you’re feeling a little down about your day, just remember that things could be worse. You could be being chased by a Pterodactyl!
