Pterosaurs were fossil flying animals which lived during the Triassic,
Jurassic and Cretaceous Eras. They were around for about 150 million
years, which is a vast amount of time. They became extinct about 65
million years ago at the same time as the dinosaurs. Humans have only
been on this planet for 2 million years. Click on the links to find out
