One
of the largest flying creatures
of all time, Pteranodon
wingspans reached 33 feet (10 meters).
This one is a female P. sternbergi with
a small crest at the back of the skull.
Found over 250 miles from the
ancient shoreline, these were
strong flyers, living almost
exclusively on fish, caught by swooping
down to the sea surface and scooping
them up in their toothless beaks.
Mounted
in two different standing poses and
accompanied by a flying skeleton and
life restoration specimens, these
Pteranodons form a
dramatic
group.
