Trivia

  • In real life, Pteranodon walks only on four legs.
  • In real life, female Pteranodon has a short crest.
  • In real life, Pteranodon has pycnofibers like all pterosaurs.
  • The series shows that the Pteranodons have a bat (or Yi qi) like wings which is inaccurate wing design. Real Pteranodon wings were much longer and had rounded or sharp tips.
  • Pteranodon also didn't build a bird-like nest in real life.
