I had no idea how large pteranodons were: the largest wingspan ever found was a little over twenty feet long. While probably not strong enough to carry a human passenger (at least not a full-grown man), pteranodons are amazing in design. The diversity of life on the earth through the eons is staggering.

I’m loving ARK: Survival Evolved (more like Childhood Sandbox Evolved). While I am certainly a wuss for playing single-player, it’s a fascinating experience to be the only man on an island full of dinosaurs… and then taming and naming them. My pteranodon is named Steve!

Also, interesting that pteranodons, while reptiles, are not dinosaurs. But they’re always included with them. Because they’re awesome.
