If you know one thing about pterosaurs, it’s that they’re flyers. And while pterosaurs may be wellknown for their domination of the skies in the Mesozoic Era, they didn’t live their entire lives in the air. So how did we figure this out? And what were they like when they finally came down?

[Land Acknowledgement]

Many paleontological discoveries have been made on Indigenous land, often without the consultation, permission, or recognition of its original inhabitants. So we at PBS Eons want to acknowledge these peoples’ traditional and ongoing relationship with that land and with the fossils it contains.

In this episode, we refer to fossils from the ancestral homelands of the Núuaghatʉvʉpʉ̱ (Ute), Pueblos, and Diné Bikéyah Peoples.
