Pteranodon catching fish,artwork. Pteranodon was a flying reptile (pterosaur) that inhabited what is now North America and Europe during the late Cretaceous period,between 85 and 75 million years ago. It was carnivorous,and probably fed on fish (one at lower right),which it caught from the water in its toothless bill. Its wingspan could reach up to ten metres. A distinctive feature was its cranial crest. As shown here in bright colours,this may have been primarily a mating or recognition display structure. In the background is an eroded sea arch and sea stacks | |
