The Pteranodon, one of the largest flying reptiles from the Late Cretaceous period, is renowned for its impressive wingspan and distinctive cranial crest. Unlike other flying reptiles, Pteranodons had long, pointed beaks and lacked teeth, making them adept at catching fish while soaring over ancient seas. Their wings, with a span that could reach over 20 feet, allowed them to glide gracefully above the water and land. Often seen nesting on coastal cliffs or diving for prey, Pteranodons are a testament to the incredible diversity of prehistoric life. These pages capture the majestic presence of the Pteranodon, showcasing its unique features and the freedom of its aerial existence in a world long past.
The main difference between Pterodactyl and Pteranodon is their size and features: Pterodactyls were generally smaller with teeth, while Pteranodons were larger, had long, toothless beaks, and often featured prominent cranial crests.
