Safari Ltd. Pteranodon Review:

Distinct in that figure is not in a flying position, but rather is on its hands (not wingtips) and feet. Looks like it could be crawling towards is prey. It is rare to find a Pteranodon is this pose.

Captivating figure overall. Besides the pose, the next feature you notice is the vibrant head colors. Bright orange beak looks great but is upstaged by the striped cranial crest. One of the best looking head sculpts on any figure. Great figure - definitely worth consideration for adding to your prehistoric figure collection.

Pteranodon Information:

Pteranodon are part of the Pterosaur genus - which includes some of the largest flying reptiles. Thus Pteranodons are not dinosaurs, but in fact are flying reptiles. Pteranodons are the most famous Pterosaurs. Over 1,000 Pteranodon fossils have been found. Pteranodons had toothless beaks (similar to birds).

The most distinctive characteristic of the Pteranodon is the cranial crest. The crest was likely just a display feature but may have been used for stability in flight or as a rudder.

Pteranodon was a large pterosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period, around 85 million years ago. Despite often being grouped with dinosaurs, pterosaurs were a separate but related group of flying reptiles. While they did not have feathers like birds and some dinosaurs, some pterosaurs were covered in hair-like structures called pycnofibers.
