Pterosaurs
Pterosaurs in flight, computer artwork. Pterosaurs 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 thought that they spent much of their time gliding, but that they could flap their wings for power when required

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring world of Pterosaurs, ancient flying reptiles that once soared through the skies. The computer artwork beautifully captures these prehistoric creatures in flight, giving us a glimpse into their fascinating existence. Pterosaurs were closely related to dinosaurs and inhabited coastal regions during the Cretaceous period, spanning from 130 to 65 million years ago. Fossils of one particular species called Pteranodon have been discovered in both North America and Europe, shedding light on their widespread presence. It is believed that pterosaurs primarily fed on fish, skillfully catching them during low passes over the sea. While they spent much of their time gliding effortlessly through the air, they possessed the ability to flap their wings for added power when necessary. In this illustration, we witness a group of late-stage pterosaurs gracefully soaring together as if forming an airborne colony. Their majestic forms and intricate details are brought to life by this remarkable computer artwork. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at these extinct beings who ruled the skies millions of years ago. This print serves as a testament to our fascination with paleontology and allows us to appreciate the beauty and diversity that once existed in our planet's distant past.
