Pterosaurs flying, computer artwork
Pterosaurs flying, computer artwork. Pterosaurs (also known as pterodactyls) were flying reptiles that were related to the dinosaurs. The later types, such as Pteranodon, inhabited coastal regions in the Cretaceous period, from around 130 to 65 million years ago. Fossils of Pteranodon have been found in North America and Europe. It is thought that pterosaurs fed mainly on fish, which they caught during low passes over the sea. It is also thought that they spent much of their time gliding, but that they could flap their wings for power when required

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork print showcases the majestic Pterosaurs in flight, offering a glimpse into the prehistoric world they once inhabited. Pterosaurs, also known as pterodactyls, were fascinating flying reptiles closely related to dinosaurs. The later species, like the iconic Pteranodon depicted here, thrived along coastal regions during the Cretaceous period spanning from 130 to 65 million years ago. Fossils of these incredible creatures have been discovered in North America and Europe, shedding light on their remarkable existence. It is believed that pterosaurs primarily fed on fish, skillfully snatching them up during low passes over the sea. While they spent much of their time gliding effortlessly through the skies with grace and ease, when necessary, they could powerfully flap their wings for added propulsion. This stunning illustration not only captures their physical features but also provides insight into their behavior and habitat. With intricate details showcasing every feathered wing and scaled body contour against a backdrop of clouds and open sky, it transports us back to an era long gone by. As we admire this piece of artistry from Science Photo Library's collection without any commercial intent or mention thereof; we are reminded of the extraordinary diversity that once roamed our planet. Let this image serve as a testament to nature's boundless creativity and inspire awe for these ancient winged wonders who ruled the skies millions of years ago.
