Comment
Pteranodon means “Winged and Toothless”. This prehestoric animal is not considered a bird or a dinosaur, but as a flying reptile known as Pterosaurs. Pteranodon had the appearance of a giant pelican. It measured 6 feet tall, 6 feet long, and had a very large wingspan of 24 feet wide. A crest at the back of the skull may have helped balance the long jaws and beak.
The first Pteranodon skull was found on May 2, 1876, in Smoky Hill River, Wallace County, Kansas. Additional remains have also been found in Wyoming, Nebraska, and in England, and have been dated to the Late Cretaceous period 83-70 million years ago.
