palaeofail-explained:palaeofail:A “Pterodactyl” from the Jurassic World toyline.Where do I begin here? Assuming this was supposed to be Pteranodon, about the only things they got right are not having teeth or a long tail. The head is way too small and the shape is all wrong; the jaws should be a lot narrower and pointier, with a distinct upward curve, and crest shape matches no known fossil. The body and legs were nowhere near that big and chunky in the real thing. The wings looked nothing like that - the wing membrane was supported by a single finger, while three additional fingers were free. The legs were a lot shorter, there were five toes on the feet, and the wing membrane should attach to the ankles. Pteranodon was quadrupedal and probably covered with furlike pycnofibres. To be fair, the Playskool Heroes line is supposed to be super-deformed. -- source link
