[QUOTE="Mecheon, post: 9230350, member: 6801776"] Like every single TV show has them just. Jumping out of the water. Its a bit of a meme. [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBcvZ7d8ZNI']So people went silly with the meme[/URL]. One of the closest relatives of pteranadon. Also notably one of the very few pterosaurs who just, don't have hands. Just, completely lost all of the hand except for the little finger, which serves for the wing. Unlike Quetzal or Hatzeg, Nyctosaurus would have been pretty useless on the ground We don't have a Prehistoric Planet scene with Nycto, but its close relative [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMkFBIGF7b4']Barbaridactylus [/URL]got a showing Quetzy is huge. Like, the height of a giraffe height for one of the species. [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWGnlAQsRaE']Taller than Tyrannosaurus tall[/URL]. Another of those weirdos, Sharovipteryx and Tanystropheus aren't dinosaurs but they're both random archosaurs, making them equally either as close to crocs or dinosaurs. Basically split off after lizards and turtles went their own way, but before dinosaurs and crocodiles. Other possible weirdos in their side family are the Drepanosaurs and possibly everyone's favourite nonsense reptile [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longisquama']Longisquama[/URL], just this. Tiny nonsense creature we have enough fossil to give us some ideas but not enough Anyway basically all three of them are the favourites of people who insist that birds aren't dinosaurs so any time they come up, drama magnets This is what happened to Nanotyrannus if you've ever heard of that one. There's still a few holdouts insisting that its a seperate species, but most folks agree that it was a young rex still growing to its adult proportions. Which has interesting questions about rex's lifestyle as its implied they fulfilled different predatory niches throughout their life [/QUOTE]
