Did you know that pterodactyls weren't actually dinosaurs, but amazing flying reptiles that ruled the skies while dinosaurs walked the earth? 🦕🦖

The name 'pterodactyl' comes from Greek words that mean 'winged finger' because their wings were supported by one super-long finger! ☝️🦇

Baby pterodactyls are called 'flaplings' and scientists believe they were able to fly almost immediately after hatching from their eggs! 🥚🐣

While some pterodactyls were as small as songbirds, their giant cousins, the pterosaurs, could grow as big as a small airplane! ✈️🦖

Scientists believe some pterodactyls had colorful fuzzy coats or crests on their heads, so you can use your brightest crayons to color them! 🖍️🎨
