	Pteranodon (Pteranodon longiceps)
		The wings of the Pteranodon indicate that it could flap its wings like a bird but the wings were primarily used for gliding, similar to those of an eagle.
		Pteranodons flew well because they weighed very little for their large body size, and their bones were hallow.
		The eyes of the Pteranodon were relatively large, indicating that the animals relied on good eyesight, which was needed to capture fast swimming fish.

	Pteranodon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pteranodon (from Greek πτερ- "wing" and αν-οδων "toothless"), from the Late Cretaceous of North America (Kansas, Alabama, Nebraska, Wyoming, South Dakota) was one of the largest pterosaur genera, with a wingspan of up to 7.5 m (25 feet).
		This is a suggestion based on the fact that the Pteranodon had a wing disparity (ratio of wing length to hind limb length) similar to that of the albatross, with the disparity of the Pteranodon at 9:1, and that of the albatross at 8:1 (Padian 1983).
		In colloquial speak, Pteranodon is often erroneously called the "Pterodactyl." However, "pterodactyl" is not actually a name of a specific species; rather, it is a term for all short-tailed toothless pterosaurs (the pterodactloidea), including the Pteranodon, Pterodactylus, and Quetzalcoatlus.

	Pteranodon - Uncyclopedia
		Pteranodon are born fluorescent pink, but upon maturity at 6 months, this colour turns gradually to brownish-grey on the body, only the beak, and the bony occipital ridge remain pink.
		The protruding ridge at the occipital region of the skull of the Pteradonon is a secondary sex characteristic.
		A Pteranodon colony is a peculiar sight to behold, the combined calling noises of the mothers and their young make a deafening clatter, the smell of guano is overwhelming, but the spectator is the awed the most by the shape of these graceful, noble creatures gliding effortlessly through the air.

	Pteranodon, the Toothless Wing
		Pteranodon was a pterosaur, a group of flying reptiles that are often mistakenly called dinosaurs.
		Pteranodon was a member of the Pterodactyloid suborder of the pterosaurs.
		Pteranodon had large eyes and a large brain, indicating that it was probably very intelligent and a good hunter, although it lacked teeth.

	Stuffed Pteranodon from Stuffed Legends
		Pteranodon had a wingspan of 7 metres (23 feet) or more, and its toothless jaws were very long and pelican-like.
		Pteranodon, like other pterosaurs, was a strong flier with a large breastbone, reinforced shoulder girdles, and muscular attachments on the arm bones—all evidence of power and maneuverability.
		Fossils of Pteranodon and related forms are found in Europe, South America, and Asia in rocks formed from substances found in marine environments, which supports the inference of a pelican-like lifestyle.

	Pteranodons
		Pteranodons were a group of Late Cretaceous flying reptiles that were characteristically toothless and tail-less (they did have short tails).
		Pteranodons were superbly adapted to flight, including their hollow bones and the way in which their dorsal vertebrae were fused together with the ribs to form a solid structure that supported the flight muscles.

		Pteranodons were flying reptiles (pterosaurs) that were about 6 feet (1.8 m) long, had a 25-33 foot (7.8-10 m) wingspread, and weighed about 35 pounds; its standing height was about 6 feet (1.8 m).
		Pteranodons had hollow bones, were lightly built, had almost no tail, and small bodies; they may have had fur.
		Some pteranodons had long, light-weight, bony crests on their heads that may have acted as a rudder or stabilizer when flying, or may have been a sexual characteristic.

		Pteranodon was one of the largest of the pterosaurs—the winged reptiles from the Mesozoic Era.
		Pteranodons have been found with fragments of fish, fish scales and crustaceans in their jaws and stomach.
		Pteranodon was relatively small, restricting the size of flight muscles, so presumably they would have spent a lot of time gliding and soaring.

		Pteranodon, one of the largest pterosaurs or flying reptiles, is one of the most famous and popular of Cretaceous period creatures.
		It is currently thought that it was the male Pteranodon that had the very long, prominent crest and a wingspan of up to almost 24 feet.

		The Pteranodon may also have been skilled at gliding because of its huge wingspan and comparatively light body weight.
		The Pteranodon's 23 foot wingspan was out of proportion to the rest of its size: at 33 pounds, the Pteranodon's body was about the size of a modern turkey.
		Even though the Pteranodon is classified as a reptile, it was warm blooded, (don't ask me how did the scientist found out) and its body was covered by thick fur.

	Pteranodon
		Because of the relatively light weight the wings had to support, Pteranodon was an efficient glider; it is thought unlikely that the wings were flapped bird fashion since Pteranodon had a weakly developed sternum and lacked the keel at the breast to which the powerful flight muscles found in most birds attach.
		Pteranodon fossils are frequently found in rocks formed in marine environments, indicating that the animal spent much time gliding over the ocean waters searching for fish that must have made up the bulk of its diet.
		It is probable that Pteranodon took off from the ground by facing into sea breezes that provided enough force to lift its outstretched wings.
