 | | Pterosaurs could flap their wings and fly with power, but the largest ones (like Quetzalcoatlus, which had a wingspan up to 36 feet or 11 m wide) probably relied on updrafts (rising warm air) and breezes to help in flying. |
 | | Genus Eudimorphodon - 2.5 feet (0.75 m) long wingspan, with large eyes, a short neck, many sharp teeth in pointed jaws (for eating fish and insects), and a diamond-shaped flap of skin at the end of the long, pointed tail. |
 | | Genus Dimorphodon - 4 feet (1.2 m) long wingspan, with deep, wide jaws resembling the beak of the modern-day puffin, a short neck, and a diamond-shaped flap of skin at the end of the long, pointed tail. |
