Pterosaur, the winged reptile, is one of nature's great success stories. Often referred to as pterodactyls, pterosaurs survived as long as the dinosaurs but they are not dinosaurs. More videos: http://dinosaurstop.com
They spread across the globe, soaring or skimming over oceans, inland seas, lakes and rivers, where they became commanding predators of fish and other creatures. They diversified like mad and ranged from the size of a sparrow to that of an F-16 jet-fighter. But pterosaurs have long proved a mystery to scientists, ever since the first fossil was discovered in Germany in 1784. How did they catch and kill their prey? Did they lay eggs or give birth to live young? Did they walk on two or four legs? What was the function of the bizarre crests that made some of them look like revellers in a kind of Jurassic Mardi Gras? Perhaps most challenging of all, how did they fly? Their wing design and flight control were unlike anything that has been seen before.
In Flying Sky Monsters, animation and CGI helps us look at these fascinating creatures in more detail. What did they eat, how did they live, why did they vanish? We travel to Inner Mongolia to both search for pterosaur fossils and to see if a team of palaeontologists, scientists, aerialists and engineers can reconstruct a pterosaur in order to establish how an animal that large flew.
Amateur footage showing a supposed Pterosaur recently flying over Boise, Idaho, USA. Is it the work of video editing, or perhaps the return of the extinct reptile!

Pterosaurs were the first animals after insects to evolve powered flight—not just leaping or gliding, but flapping their wings to generate lift and travel through the air. They evolved into dozens of species: Some were as large as an F-16 fighter jet, and others as small as a paper airplane.
Pterosaurs flew with their forelimbs: Their long, tapering wings evolved from the same body part as our arms. As pterosaurs' arm and hand bones evolved for flying, they lengthened, and the bones of one finger—the equivalent of our ring finger—became extraordinarily long. Like the mast on a ship, these bones supported the wing surface, a thin flap of skin that was shaped like a sail.
Although many animals can glide through the air, pterosaurs, birds and bats are the only vertebrates that have evolved to fly by flapping their wings. All three groups descended from animals that lived on the ground, and their wings evolved in a similar way: their forelimbs gradually became long, bladelike and aerodynamic.
Although they have much in common, pterosaurs, birds and bats developed the ability to fly independently. Their wings evolved along different paths, and the difference can be seen in their structure.
Pterosaurs: Flight in the Age of Dinosaurs is on view from April 5, 2014, through January 4, 2015. Learn more about the exhibition at http://www.amnh.org/pterosaurs.

Paultons Park didn't open just one new coaster in May 2016 - they opened two! Flight of the Pterosaur (the P is silent!) is a Suspended Roller Coaster built by Vekoma. It has a top speed of 24 mph (55 km/h), is 65 ft (20 mtr) tall and 1,296 ft (395 mtr) long. What makes this coaster special are the multiple footchopping moments - watch out during the helix finale!
Flight of the Pterosaur can be found in the Lost Kingdom area at Paultons Park, Hampshire, UK.

Pterosaurs (/ˈtɛrɵsɔr/, from the Greek πτερόσαυρος, pterosauros, meaning "winged lizard") were flying reptiles of the clade or order Pterosauria. They existed from the late Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous Period (228 to 66 million years ago[2]). Pterosaurs are the earliest vertebrates known to have evolved powered flight. Their wings were formed by a membrane of skin, muscle, and other tissues stretching from the ankles to a dramatically lengthened fourth finger.[3] Early species had long, fully toothed jaws and long tails, while later forms had a highly reduced tail, and some lacked teeth. Many sported furry coats made up of hair-like filaments known as pycnofibers, which covered their bodies and parts of their wings. Pterosaurs spanned a wide range of adult sizes, from the very small Nemicolopterus to the largest known flying creatures of all time, including Quetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopteryx

Neither birds nor bats, pterosaurs were reptiles, close cousins of dinosaurs who evolved on a separate branch of the reptile family tree. They were also the first animals after insects to evolve powered flight—not just leaping or gliding, but flapping their wings to generate lift and travel through the air. They evolved into dozens of species. Some were as large as an F-16 fighter jet, and others as small as a paper airplane.

Real PTEROSAUR SIGHTINGS?! Could these creatures be the famous Cryptids/Thunderbirds of North American indigenous folklore?!
Is this the Cryptozoology find of the decade!? A real thunderbird captured on camera at last!?
We have come into possession of arguably the most incredible photos we have ever seen. If confirmed, it seems that Pterosaurs (“Thunderbirds”?) did in fact live on this planet until the very recent past. The photographs are thought to have been taken in the Central United States; and they span from the late 19th century through to the early 20th century.
Who would have believed that these mighty aerial beasts, these kings of the air, these real life "cryptids", ruled our skies into what is almost our living memories.

Pterosaurs (
/ˈtɛrəsɔr/, from the Greek πτερόσαυρος, pterosauros, meaning "winged lizard") were flying reptiles of the clade or order Pterosauria. They existed from the late Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous Period (210 to 65.5 million years ago). Pterosaurs are the earliest vertebrates known to have evolved powered flight. Their wings were formed by a membrane of skin, muscle, and other tissues stretching from the legs to a dramatically lengthened fourth finger. Early species had long, fully toothed jaws and long tails, while later forms had a highly reduced tail, and some lacked teeth. Many sported furry coats made up of hair-like filaments known as pycnofibres, which covered their bodies and parts of their wings. Pterosaurs spanned a wide range of adult sizes, from the very small Nemicolopterus to the largest known flying creatures of all time, including Quetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopteryx.
Pterosaurs are often referred to in the popular media and by the general public as flying dinosaurs, but this is incorrect. The term "dinosaur" is properly restricted to only those reptiles descended from the last common ancestor of the groups Saurischia and Ornithischia (clade Dinosauria, which includes birds), and current scientific consensus is that this group excludes the pterosaurs, as well as the various groups of extinct marine reptiles, such as ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and mosasaurs. Pterosaurs are also incorrectly referred to as pterodactyls, particularly by journalists. "Pterodactyl" refers specifically to members of the genus Pterodactylus, and more broadly to members of the suborder Pterodactyloidea.

Flying Sky Monsters - Pterosaur Documentary
Pterosaur, the winged reptile, is one of nature's great success stories. Often referred to as pterodactyls, pterosaurs survived as long as the dinosaurs but they are not dinosaurs. More videos: http://dinosaurstop.com They spread across the globe, soaring or skimming over oceans, inland seas, lakes and rivers, where they became commanding predators of fish and other creatures. They diversified like mad and ranged from the size of a sparrow to that of an F-16 jet-fighter. But pterosaurs have long proved a mystery to scientists, ever since the first fossil was discovered in Germany in 1784. How did they catch and kill their prey? Did they lay eggs or give birth to live young? Did they walk on two or four legs? What was the function of the bizarre crests that made some of them look like rev... -

How Were Pterosaurs Adapted for Flight?
Pterosaurs were the first animals after insects to evolve powered flight—not just leaping or gliding, but flapping their wings to generate lift and travel through the air. They evolved into dozens of species: Some were as large as an F-16 fighter jet, and others as small as a paper airplane. Pterosaurs flew with their forelimbs: Their long, tapering wings evolved from the same body part as our arms. As pterosaurs' arm and hand bones evolved for flying, they lengthened, and the bones of one finger—the equivalent of our ring finger—became extraordinarily long. Like the mast on a ship, these bones supported the wing surface, a thin flap of skin that was shaped like a sail. Although many animals can glide through the air, pterosaurs, birds and bats are the only vertebrates that have evolved ... -

Largest flying creature ever - Pterosaurs Documentary HQ
Pterosaurs (/ˈtɛrɵsɔr/, from the Greek πτερόσαυρος, pterosauros, meaning "winged lizard") were flying reptiles of the clade or order Pterosauria. They existed from the late Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous Period (228 to 66 million years ago[2]). Pterosaurs are the earliest vertebrates known to have evolved powered flight. Their wings were formed by a membrane of skin, muscle, and other tissues stretching from the ankles to a dramatically lengthened fourth finger.[3] Early species had long, fully toothed jaws and long tails, while later forms had a highly reduced tail, and some lacked teeth. Many sported furry coats made up of hair-like filaments known as pycnofibers, which covered their bodies and parts of their wings. Pterosaurs spanned a wide range of adult sizes, from the very sma... -
What Is a Pterosaur?
Neither birds nor bats, pterosaurs were reptiles, close cousins of dinosaurs who evolved on a separate branch of the reptile family tree. They were also the first animals after insects to evolve powered flight—not just leaping or gliding, but flapping their wings to generate lift and travel through the air. They evolved into dozens of species. Some were as large as an F-16 fighter jet, and others as small as a paper airplane.

Pterosaur, the winged reptile, is one of nature's great success stories. Often referred to as pterodactyls, pterosaurs survived as long as the dinosaurs but they are not dinosaurs. More videos: http://dinosaurstop.com
They spread across the globe, soaring or skimming over oceans, inland seas, lakes and rivers, where they became commanding predators of fish and other creatures. They diversified like mad and ranged from the size of a sparrow to that of an F-16 jet-fighter. But pterosaurs have long proved a mystery to scientists, ever since the first fossil was discovered in Germany in 1784. How did they catch and kill their prey? Did they lay eggs or give birth to live young? Did they walk on two or four legs? What was the function of the bizarre crests that made some of them look like revellers in a kind of Jurassic Mardi Gras? Perhaps most challenging of all, how did they fly? Their wing design and flight control were unlike anything that has been seen before.
In Flying Sky Monsters, animation and CGI helps us look at these fascinating creatures in more detail. What did they eat, how did they live, why did they vanish? We travel to Inner Mongolia to both search for pterosaur fossils and to see if a team of palaeontologists, scientists, aerialists and engineers can reconstruct a pterosaur in order to establish how an animal that large flew.

Although many animals can glide through the air, pterosaurs, birds and bats are the only vertebrates that have evolved to fly by flapping their wings. All three groups descended from animals that lived on the ground, and their wings evolved in a similar way: their forelimbs gradually became long, bladelike and aerodynamic.
Although they have much in common, pterosaurs, birds and bats developed the ability to fly independently. Their wings evolved along different paths, and the difference can be seen in their structure.

Real PTEROSAUR SIGHTINGS?! Could these creatures be the famous Cryptids/Thunderbirds of North American indigenous folklore?!
Is this the Cryptozoology find of the decade!? A real thunderbird captured on camera at last!?
We have come into possession of arguably the most incredible photos we have ever seen. If confirmed, it seems that Pterosaurs (“Thunderbirds”?) did in fact live on this planet until the very recent past. The photographs are thought to have been taken in the Central United States; and they span from the late 19th century through to the early 20th century.
Who would have believed that these mighty aerial beasts, these kings of the air, these real life "cryptids", ruled our skies into what is almost our living memories.

Pé Da Roseira
Pé Da Roseira
O pé da roseira murchou
E as flores caíram no chão
Quando ela chorava, eu dizia:
"Tá certo, Maria
Você tem razão"
Quando ela chorava, eu dizia:
"Tá certo, Maria
Você tem razão"
Maria chorava, eu fugia
Sem ter nada mais pra dizer
O amor terminado, e Maria
Me via partindo, sem saber por quê
Me via partindo e chorava
Me amava e não podia crer
Que o mundo afinal me levava
E nada lhe dava o jeito de entender
Eu também não compreendia
Por que terminava um amor
Nem mesmo se o amor terminava
Só sei que eu andava
E não sentia dor
Me lembro na porta da casa
Lá dentro Maria chorava
Depois, caminhando sozinho
Lembrei da ciranda que meu pai cantava
Depois, caminhando sozinho
Lembrei da ciranda que meu pai cantava
O pé da roseira murchou
E as flores caíram no chão
Quando ela chorava, eu dizia:
"Tá certo, Maria
Você tem razão"
Quando ela chorava, eu dizia:
"Tá certo, Maria
Você tem razão"
