Pteranodon

Pteranodon was a genus of pterosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 85-65 million years ago. It was a large, winged reptile, with a wingspan of up to 20 feet (6 meters). Pteranodon had a distinctive crest on its head, which may have been used for display or for regulating body temperature. It had a long, thin beak and a mouth full of sharp, pointed teeth, which it likely used to catch and eat fish. Pteranodon was well adapted for flight, with long, thin wings and a lightweight skeleton. It probably spent most of its time in the air, but it may have also been able to walk on land using its short, stubby legs. Pteranodon is known from fossil discoveries in North America and Europe.
