Pteranodon

The Pteranodon was "almost the size of a small aeroplane" and a carnivore which would snatch up terrestrial prey, either for its own consumption or to bring to its ever-hungry young. By contrast, the Pterodactylus genus was quite small, about the size of a chicken. They had bald heads and flappy, leathery wings; they fed principally on freshwater fish and small, flying insects.

Behind the scenes

• The Pteranodon notably appeared in Episode 1.5 of Primeval. The profile provided in Prehistory Repeating Itself ^[+]Loading...["Prehistory Repeating Itself (feature)"] was, in fact, recycled from Cubicle Seven's Primeval game.
