What are Pterosaurs?

Do you like dinosaurs?  What about the flying pterosaurs?  What do you know about them? David Attenborough has produced dozens of shows and books about how plants and animals live. But his latest, Flying Monsters 3D, takes a look at creatures that have been extinct for around 65 million years--pterosaurs, or flying reptiles--and examines why they may have evolved to fly. Listen to this article and let me know if this is a movie that you would like to see?

    NO.NO. They have skinny wings and they are flying reptiles, not dinosaurs. And they are primarily fish eating and live near the coast.

    They are flying reptiles, not dinosaurs. WE THINK DINOSAURS ARE EXTRAORDINARY. We know that they lived a long time ago and there are many species of dinosaurs.

    Taylar and I both agree that dinosaurs are awesome, even though they are extinct. We are more into the non meat eaters, the rest are a little scary. We know that they when extinct 65,000,000 years ago and they could fly.

    We used to like dinosaurs when we were like 5. It is not a dinosaur it is actually a flying reptile. It has skinny wings and is primarily a fish eater.
