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

The crest was probably used for display, especially in males, who had much larger crests than females. It may have helped them attract mates or recognize each other.1

?Is Pteranodon a dinosaur?
