Dintlha tse monate
Pteranodon was not a dinosaur, but a flying reptile called a pterosaur.1
Males had a huge, backward-pointing crest on their skull, while females had a smaller crest.1
It lived during the Late Cretaceous, about 88 to 80 million years ago.1
Pteranodon flew over the Western Interior Seaway, a shallow sea that split North America in two.1
More than 1,100 specimens of Pteranodon have been found, making it one of the best-known pterosaurs.2
Its wings were made of skin stretched between a long fourth finger and its body.1

?Where did Pteranodon live?
Pteranodon lived in North America, especially over the Western Interior Seaway, a shallow sea that covered parts of what are now Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Alabama.1
?How many Pteranodon fossils have been found?
More than 1,200 specimens of Pteranodon have been found, making it the best-known pterosaur.1
?Was Pteranodon bigger than a plane?
