Over the past few months the team here at Earth Archives and Pteros has been working hard on something special, and we couldn’t be more proud. This week marks the opening of a new museum exhibit, “Pterosaurs: Ancient Rulers of the Sky,” at ScienceWorks Hands-on Museum in Ashland, Oregon.
Ashland, Oregon is famous for their annual Shakespeare Festival, and starting this April, Tybalt and Desdemona will be joined by Pteranodon and Darwinopterus. A new pterosaur exhibit opened April 28 in southwestern Oregon.

Austriadactylus and young Megalancosaurus I don't know about flight ability of early pterosaur ,but really sure an early pterosaur can glided from a top of a tree and catched small prey on tree or on forest floor.

From Aerotitan to Zhenyuanopterus, Pteros covers all genera of the prehistoric flying reptiles known as pterosaurs.
Pteros, The Encyclopedia of Pterosaurs launches today! Learn more about pterosaurs, the iconic and amazing flying animals of the Mesozoic: their evolutionary relationships, environments, diverse lifestyles and intriguing morphology, with new pterosaurs added weekly. I’m happy to have several of my illustrations included as part of this project, alongside the images, writing, coding and research of many talented individuals!

PTEROS IS LIVE. LONG LIVE PTEROSAURS.
Pterosaurs are the most iconic and arguably beautiful of all extinct animals. They have inspired awe in all who discovered their fossils and now they have come to life like never before through the Pteros project, an online encyclopedia of pterosaurs. http://www.pteros.com/
For many, they are the nightmarish ‘pterodactyls’, the winged dragon-like beasts that plagued the prehistoric world. But in reality the pterosaurs were incredibly evolved, and well-adapted fliers with huge brains and the ability to cross landmasses with just a few strong flaps.
