This is Pteranodon, a flying reptile that lived during the Late Cretaceous. Look at its long toothless beak, the crest behind its head and its broad, outstretched wings.
Classification used here: Pterosaur (flying reptile). Fossils assigned to Pteranodon are known from Late Cretaceous and have been found in North America (United States). The museum uses 6–8 m (about 20–26 ft) as the reference wingspan and describes the diet as meat-eater. Pteranodon was a pterosaur, a flying reptile rather than a dinosaur. It had no teeth. Fossilised fish remains found in the stomach area show that fish were part of its diet, and the wingspans of larger specimens could exceed 6 metres.

Leon Made This
I’m Leon, a developer and a dad. When my daughter was three, dinosaur chases on television frightened her, so I made a 3D prehistoric animal museum where she could look quietly and listen only when she wanted to.
The museum is free, with no sign-up, adverts or visitor tracking. Finding one interesting detail at a time is plenty.
