Скачать или смотреть Pterosaurs: The SKY CREATURES You Thought Were DINOSAURS

Dinosaurs were not, by any means, the only ruling group of reptiles extant throughout the Mesozoic era. High above the oceanic skies, deep within the forests, across the river and lake systems and the high cliffs and canyons of the planet throughout this time, flew the pterosaurs, occupying the skies where birds would one day soar. You will already be familiar with the iconic image of the long-crested pterosaur Pteranodon soaring across the waves, snatching up an unfortunate fish in its long, stork-like beak, but there is a lot more to it than this. Modern science has proved to us that pterosaurs came in all shapes and sizes, for there were an incredible number of ecological niches for them to exploit, as some of the only (and most certainly amongst the largest) flying vertebrates of their time.

Throughout their long time on this planet, the pterosaurs ranged everywhere from tiny, fluttering, bat-like creatures known as Anurognathids, to the colossal Azhdarchids - the largest flying creatures that have ever lived. Famous faces such as Pterodactylus, Dimorphodon and Rhamphorynchus dominated the cliffsides and coastal waters of the Jurassic, while lesser-known oddities such as Leptostomia, Afrotapejara and Arambourgiania represented some of the most outlandish creatures ever to breathe.

Join us, for a journey into the Mesozoic, to take a look at the mystery and wonder of the Pterosaurs.
