Abstract
- "The fossil record suggests pterosaurs could use their partly-folded wings like front legs, walking on their wrists", Martin- Silverstone notes. We've only seen them fly in movies like Jurassic World, but extinct flying reptiles called pterosaurs (Greek for "wing lizard") stand out for their evolutionary success. "That's because a pterosaur's wing is stretched along long, thin bones, which make up one of the pterosaur's fingers", Martin-Silverstone explains. [Extracted from the article]
