For 150 million years, the skies didn't belong
to birds--they belonged to the pterosaurs. These flying
reptiles, which include the pterodactyls, shared the
world with the nonavian dinosaurs until their extinction
65 million years ago. Some pterosaurs, such as the giant
azhdarchids, were the largest flying animals of all
time, with wingspans exceeding thirty feet and standing
heights comparable to modern giraffes. This richly
illustrated book takes an unprecedented look at these
astonishing creatures, presenting the latest findings on
their anatomy, ecology, and
extinction. Pterosaurs features some 200
stunning illustrations, including original paintings by
Mark Witton and photos of rarely seen fossils. After
decades of mystery, paleontologists have finally begun
to understand how pterosaurs are related to other
reptiles, how they functioned as living animals, and,
despite dwarfing all other flying animals, how they
managed to become airborne. Here you can explore the
fossil evidence of pterosaur behavior and ecology, learn
about the skeletal and soft-tissue anatomy of
pterosaurs, and consider the newest theories about their
cryptic origins. This one-of-a-kind book covers the
discovery history, paleobiogeography, anatomy, and
behaviors of more than 130 species of pterosaur, and
also discusses their demise at the end of the
Mesozoic.
