The fossil remains of the first flying vertebrates, the pterosaurs, have
intrigued paleontologists for more than two centuries. How such large creatures, which
weighed in some cases as much as a piloted hang glider and had wingspans from 8 to 12
meters, solved the problems of powered flight, and exactly what these creatures were-
reptiles or birds- are among the questions scientist have puzzled over. Perhaps the least
controversial. The anatomy of their wings suggests that they did not evolve into the class
of birds. In pterosaurs a greatly elongated fourth finger of each forelimb supported a wing
like membrane. The other fingers were short and reptilian, with sharp claws, In birds the
second finger is the principle strut of the wing, which consists primarily of features. If the
pterosaur walked or remained stationary, the fourth finger, and with it the wing, could
only turn upward in an extended inverted V-shape along side of the animal's body. The
pterosaurs resembled both birds and bats in their overall structure and proportions.
This is not surprising because the design of any flying vertebrate is subject to
aerodynamic constraints. Both the pterosaurs and the birds have hollow bones, a feature
that represents a saving in weight. In the birds, however, these bones are reinforced more
massively by internal struts.
Although scales typically cover reptiles, the pterosaurs probably
had hairy coats. T.H. Huxley reasoned that flying vertebrates must have been warm –
blooded because flying implies a high internal temperature. Huxley speculated that a coat
of hair would insulate against loss of body heat and might streamline the body to reduce
drag in flight. The recent discovery of a pterosaur specimen covered in long, dense, and
relatively thick hair like fossil material was the first clear evidenced that his
reasoning was correct. Efforts to explain how the pterosaurs became air-borne have led to
suggestions that they launched themselves by jumping from cliffs, by dropping from
trees, or even by rising into light winds from the crests of waves. Each hypothesis has its
difficulties. The first wrongly assumes that the pterosaur's hind feet resembled a bat's and
could served as hooks by which the animal could bang in preparation for flight. The
second hypothesis seems unlikely because large pterosaurs could not have landed in trees
without damaging their wings. The birds calls for high waves to channels updrafts. The
wind that made such waves however, might have been too strong for the pterosaurs
to control their flight once airborne.
