Plus, we still have compelling evidence of gigantic, 8-9 m wingspan toothy sea-going pterosaurs. Next to azhdarchids, they're the biggest pterosaurs of all - there's plenty of real science on these guys to get excited about. (Average-sized 5-ish m wingspan Cimoliopterus below.)

Our initial 2008 proposal was challenged, so we presented new data which further supported the terrestrial stalking model AND which contested a competing 'scoop-netting' proposal. The relevant paper was published 2015 in Acta Pal Pol... https://t.co/E7HrcfUKZo

Baryonyx may have lived in a semiaquatic environment with shallow water, lagoons, and marshes. It also lived and coexisted with other theropods, ornithopods, and sauropods, as well as pterosaurs, crocodiles, turtles and fishes. Art by John Sibbick.

Aerodactylus is a genus of pterosaur, containing only a single species, Aerodactylus scolopaciceps. While the name means "wind finger," it was given the name based on the Pokemon, Aerodactyl. The Pokemon, is a combination of many types of toothed pterosaurs, dragons and wyverns.
