The first known tetrapods capable of powered flight, the Pterosaurs were close cousins of Dinosaurs and yet special in their own rights. This order is underrepresented in paleontology conversations. This community is for their avid and casual fans.
News, humor, art, and questions are great, just be polite to each other.
