Will there be pterodactyls?
I was just wondering whether there will be pterodactyls in the game? I saw the pics of the pterandons used as flying mounts but haven't seen any pterodactyls. Pterodactyls were, probably, a lot more numerous than pterandons and would be useful as, say, a food supply. There are probably lots of other things that they could be useful for ... their really light bones would, possibly, be useful in crafting some things, etc.
Anyway, the question is, has anyone caught sight of pterodactyls?
Did I miss them or are they not n the game?

Pteranodon: Bigger and head thing

Pterodactyl: Smaller and bald

Which was the largest flying Reptile again? Was it the Pteradoctyl? Pteradon is quite smaller i think.

Pterodactyls would be cool indeed.

Yep: Quetzalcoatlus - So I hope we see those guys ingame.

Probably no need for a pterodactyl since we already have "pterandons" which everyone will just call a pterodactyl anyway since that's what everyone calls them already. Not many people have ever heard of a pterandon but nearly everyone has heard of a pterodactyl.

Thanks, Madskills. I hadn't seen them anywhere, so was just wondering. I figure that they'd be really useful in a lot of ways. Plus, they would increase the immersion.

That'd be an awesome idea. I think, though, more like they use cormorants for fishing in China to catch coelacanth. I'm not sure there's anything the right size, on land, for them to be falcons, is there?

if they added Nemicolopterus crypticus then yes there would be
or rather Shenzhoupterus

If we get a smaller pterosaur, I'd rather it be Dimorphodon that Pteradactyl
