Researchers found that pterosaurs used all four limbs to take off, similar to bats, shedding new light on the flight mechanisms of these large prehistoric animals.
Researchers have discovered that pterosaurs likely used all four limbs to launch themselves into the air, similar to how bats do today. This study, published in PeerJ, offers fresh insights into how pterosaurs achieved flight despite their massive size, with some DOI: 10.7717/peerj.17678
