Pterosaur flying, computer artwork
Pterosaur 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 Pterosaur in flight, a remarkable creature that once roamed the skies during the prehistoric era. Pterosaurs, commonly known as pterodactyls, were flying reptiles closely related to dinosaurs. This particular species, called Pteranodon, inhabited coastal regions approximately 65 to 130 million years ago. Fossils of Pteranodon have been discovered in both North America and Europe, shedding light on their fascinating existence. It is believed that these incredible creatures primarily fed on fish which they skillfully caught during low passes over the sea. While they spent much of their time gliding effortlessly through the air, when necessary, they could flap their wings with immense power. The detailed illustration captures every aspect of this ancient winged lizard's anatomy and behavior. Its long wingspan and streamlined body are expertly depicted against a backdrop representing its natural habitat. The image not only offers a glimpse into Earth's history but also serves as a testament to the wonders of paleontology. Science Photo Library has masterfully curated this stunning piece of artistry from their extensive collection. With its historical significance and scientific accuracy, this print is sure to captivate nature enthusiasts and those fascinated by our planet's rich past alike.
