Pterosaur is flying version of T. rex

摘要

Lack of CGI didn't stop vintage movies from getting it right. The Lost World (1925), for example, depicted pterosaurs as giant flying reptiles that snacked on large prey, and could even threaten humans. New fossils uphold that view, challenging a recent consensus that all pterosaurs were more like overgrown cranes that preyed on rat-sized baby dinosaurs.
