Today, P. cuvieri has its own genus, Cimoliopterus. We recognise it as an ornithocheiromorph, a long-winged, ocean-going species closely related to Ornithocheirus and Anhanguera. It was among the last of the toothed pterosaurs. But can we still consider it a giant?

It's New Year's Eve, so obviously time to talk about the discovery of giant pterosaurs. Most of us think of one animal as _the_ first giant pterosaur: the 7 m wingspan, North American Pteranodon. BUT - what if I told you this wasn't the first pterosaur giant known? Thread...

Some more continuous line drawings with ink-based watercolours! This time pterosaurs!

Really enjoying this style of drawing. Fast, effective and relaxing!

Do you know those terrible looking flightless pterosaurs from World of Kong? I think they are more serviceable as an evolved version of the flappy handed aquatic compsognathus paleoart meme.

You know what?! You really just might!
I remember when pterosaurs looked like this, and as a kid I really disliked them because of it . But now, with a more realistic and believable design, I adore them a lot!

Those are very obviously just regular, placeholder CG birds. Aside from one flightless species, canonically there are no flying pterosaurs on the 2005 Skull Island. The animals seen many times in the background during the film are likely just seagulls.

Support for our hypothesis of evolutionary relationships comes from across the entire skeleton, and also from neuroanatomical information. Lagerpetids were prob. quite active animals, possibly arboreal & their sensory capabilities might have paved the way for pterosaurs 4/9

Say what you wanna say about Avatar. But its space pterosaurs were real neat.

Arambourgiania was one of the largest pterosaurs, with a wingspan of up to 13 metres!

I think this idea is worth considering, probably only for small pterosaurs though https://t.co/bqXVg1aQoL

Maybe not dinosaurs... but pterosaurs... lots of pterosaurs.

Also reminds me of the flightless pterosaurs from Peter Jackson's King Kong, only seen in the art book.
