Body
Its body was fairly large. It had two wings made up of skin that can stretch very far. Its crest is located on top of their head. Some scientists think that the Pteranodon’s crest was a rudder. You can tell apart from a male and female by their crest because the females crest are shorter.

Did Pteranodon walk upright?
Some scientist thinkthat the Pteranodon walked on all fours. Many scientist found footprints. Before scientists discovered the footprints they thought that the Pteranodon was a biped or a quadruped.

The Pteranodon’s Diet
The Pteranodon ate mostly small fish in the sea and small birds on the shore. Sometimes it would eat carrion. Sometimes the Pteranodon uses its claws to catch fish but it mostly used its beak. Some scientist think that the Pteranodon ate things whole but a lot of people disagreed they thought the Pteranodon had teeth for chewing up fish.

The Pteranodon’s Enemies
A lot of scientist think that the Pteranodons enemies were T-rex and many other meat-eating dinosaurs. Some scientist think that the Pteranodon lived on mountain tops near the ocean.

Learning from bones• We know a lot about the Pteranodon because
of bones. We can learn more about the Pteranodon if we examine the bones more and continue to research.
