    When I saw that picture I thought for a second that it was a real dinosaur picture!

    Yes Matt it died in the Great flood when the Grand Canyon was carved suddenly. :)

    Of course, there’s no way this was just a hatchling. None at all.

    Doesn’t seem like it was a hatchling. No one reads anymore.

    When do we get real dinosaurs? I support stem cell research for a reason!

    How cute! But primitive relative of giant pterosaurs? That may be an oversimplification. Pterosaurs once filled a wide variety of niches, and came in all shapes and sizes. But they couldn’t compete with birds, and were eventually forced into the only niche where they still had an advantage, that of giant gliders.

    First of all, why don’t they have a picture of the actual fossil, instead of a cheesy model in a plastic tree? Second of all, Bean is right, this thing could easily be a hatchling. What other evidence suggests it’s just a tinier version of a different species? It’s not like we have thousands of these things to compare it to. Paleontologists love to jump to conclusions, and then repeat those things as fact.

    Pterosaurs aren’t dinosaurs.

    Is is the size of an african or a british swallow? Is it big enough to carry a coconut?

    I thought it was a real dinosaur, after reading your post i’m glad it’s not.
