Pteranodon

Pteranodon was not a Dinosaur, but an extinct kind of flying reptile, or Pterosaur, that lived during the late Cretaceous, from 90 to 65 million years ago. Its fossils have been found throughout the western United States, on the now-fossilised shores of the Niobrara Inland Sea.

Jurassic Park


While only seen at the end of The Lost World: Jurassic Park and in Jurassic Park III, it was also seen on a slide show in the original movie, and on a mural in The Lost World, implying that it was present on Isla Nublar. It is accepted by many fans of Jurassic Park that there were three subspecies present on the islands. The first, Pteranodon longiceps, is seen on the slide show, and in the last scene of The Lost World. P. sternbergi, the second, is seen in a picture briefly on Roland Tembo's Dinosaur Guide, but its presence is contested. The third does not have the right features to be considered a true Pteranodon species, so is called P. longiceps "hippocratesi", or "Hypocrite", as Pteranodon means "Wing Without Tooth", but the creatures in JP3 had teeth. This is considered an example of a tampered-with genetic anomaly, rather than a true species.Seen at the of JP3 flying off the island they seem peaceful.They are a possibly the cause of death of the Dino-Soar tour guids.
