How Did Baby Pterosaurs Fly?
First things first: pterosaurs were not dinosaurs – they were their own group of flying reptiles. Scientists think baby pterosaurs could fly very soon after hatching – much earlier than baby birds! That’s why they’re sometimes lovingly called “flaplings.” Their wings were made of thin skin stretched along a long finger. Whether they ever hopped as wobbly as the one on our page, nobody knows!
Fun Ideas for Your Finished Flapping Page
Spread your arms and hop off a low step like the baby flier – with a grown-up nearby! Glue feathers or paper strips onto the wings. Or fold a paper airplane together.
