Understanding the Extinction of Pterosaurs

Pterosaurs disappeared around 66 million years ago. Theories suggest a combination of factors, with the most widely accepted being the asteroid impact that also led to dinosaurs' extinction.

1. The K-Pg (Cretaceous-Paleogene) event caused massive environmental changes.
2. Pterosaurs struggled to adapt due to their size and flight adaptations.

Pro tip: Pterosaurs were not birds but the first vertebrates to achieve powered flight, making them a fascinating subject in paleontology.
