Whoops! At 25:44 forgot to put in the citation to Hone, et al. (2015) "The wingtips of the pterosaurs: Anatomy, aeronautical function and ecological implications." A helpful individual found Bennett's 1994 paper on the Biodiversity Heritage Library--see the link in the sources doc!

The "feet bolted on wrong" Pteranodon toy is in fact how bats hold their feet when flying: soles facing down, not up. I'm guessing that's why the toy was designed like that. This in turn is why vampire bats run with their knees pointed backwards, unlike basically all other tetrapods.

I've always thought the standing with wings outstretched pose for toys came from Toho Studios' Radon/Rodan, but maybe it was vice versa. Also, Cormorants do stand like that to sun themselves on good days. Which may be irrelevant but the resemblance is striking.
@joshuahadams
@joshuahadams 5 ай бұрын
Iirc part of why Rodan stood like that was the limits of the materials available to the Toho FX teams in the early years of their monster movies. To support the flapping the puppeteer in the suit would have to do with the weight of the rubber wings, they were fairly stiff, and the wide-winged stance became part of his look even in later productions when they had more experience and better materials for newer suits.

If I'm not mistaken the spoon or paddle shaped wing reconstruction seems to have been perpetuated (if not coined by) David Peters on his personal blogs. Those being the top image results for anyone searching pterosaur wing references I assume is the reason the myth is so widely supported online, despite it never being consensus among researchers?

It was also partly perpetuated, at least he said he believes his art contributed to this view, by John Conway, though it seems it was mostly an optical illusion from the various viewing angles he drew them in. I think there was only one old piece where the wing tips were far too elliptical but since then he has drawn them how he believes them to have looked in life, with the front rounded with the back almost completely straight. Darren Naish also doesn't seem to believe it was coined by Peters as it seems it predated Peters' reconstructions that had that roundness.

The problem with the paddle wings is that while they would probably be more efficient for a lot of pterosaurs, it's also silly to assume that A: this one method of flight would be the most efficient for ALL pterosaurs, and B: that all pterosaurs would have the most efficient flight possible. Rhamphorhynchus shows us that it was the case that not all pterosaurs had wings like this, if any did at all.

I remember a little over 20 years ago seeing a paper online about discovering a pterosaur trackway and I asked if the prints appeared to be bipedal or quadrupedal since there was still debate over that, at least in the most recent book I'd read on the subject at that time. The reply was that they were quadrupedal and I felt like a great mystery had finally be solved. It's amazing how much more has been discovered since then.

A happier time. I very rarely feel that same inexhaustible passion for learning these days but your videos never fail to reignite that fire in me. Those pteranodon trackways that were mentioned in particular reminded me of getting to see the arthropleura trackways not far from where I grew up in Scotland. I actually felt giddy looking them up. Thank you guys for all that you do, and for having the integrity to re-upload these to correct and update your information.

Fortunately we have better remains for Pteranodon than for Argentavis, because the latter has closer living relatives with a similar bauplan compared to Pteranodon.

From a windsurfer. The updates to the wings make all sorts of sense. The air sacs are something that have been picked up in race sail construction. They also have been extensively used in wing surf and kiteboarding kite construction. With respect to the fibrils. They’ve existed in windsurfing sails since the mid 80s and they follow a very similar pattern. They’re called battens and you can adjust tension on each batten. They’re perpendicular to the mast near the base/halfway up for lift, more angled toward the tip for maneuvering. Also toward the tip in gusty conditions they depower the top of the sail acting as a suspension.

The water launch sequence at 22:12 makes me think of how the swans at the river near my workplace take off from the water! They're incredibly loud, I can only imagine how much, much more intense a pteranodon would sound! Side note: I really like the style you have for your animation sequences! It reminds me of traditional stop-motion animation using paper cutouts! It's so cool and I really appreciate how much time it takes to get them looking this good!!

My inner college student that reluctantly decided against paleontology is grateful for the peek into current research, or at least more current than when I was keeping up on it decades ago. Have you seriously thought about doing real, anatomically correct kids toys? Do each one with a little picture book; have you seen Running Press Miniature Editions products? I think they'd be a hit with kids and adults. Looking forward to more YDAW!

Yay, more problems in science! On a serious note, this channel ignites my curiosity in a way that few other palaeontology works can. Even though in this video you only discussed one of the possibilities for the arm/wing structure, it's illustrated so intuitively that I suddenly get a better idea of how these animals could have worked. They're odd from a quick glance, but become truly weird when you get closer to their anatomy and lifestyle: the need to be able to lift off of water attests to the fact that they lived in marine environments and probably needed a way to get their mouths closer to fish, rather than hoping fish would jump into their flying mouths. On a side note, pterosaur toys always disappoint because they are fixed to one pose that only represents part of their lifestyle. I saw the larger toy on the table that looked like it was chilling, sleeping, or drowning and wondered if you were going to use that as an example. Now it makes me wonder: in what posture would pterosaurs have slept? Perhaps the arboreal ones would use their claws to hang onto trunks and branches, but it's hard to imagine how the larger ones could have comfortably rested their arms

Here's a "what if" for you... What if the pterosaur wings weren't membranes at all? What if they were surfaces constructed of bundles of narrow velcro? When readied for flight they would "zip shut" against their corresponding velcro tubes to form a locking stiff surface. When moving about on the ground they would soften, becoming loose "hairy tuffs" bustling about like a rooster's tail. The tension in the wing muscles would create the "signal" to lock the surfaces together. The fibers, individually could be light - even hollow - and to some degree could even move against each other to modify and improve flight characteristics. Dead, these rods or strips would, unless immediately covered, break apart and scatter like loose fur or feathers. So pterodactyl and pterosaurs wings could have been made up of something similar to a bird's feathers, but infinitely more slender 'extentions' of the fuzzy coverage we know they had on their bodies. The weight would be much less and the resulting surface more like stiff, self repairing paper, the leather panels with embedded ligaments to reinforce or stiffen those surfaces during flight.

Just from the basic proportions of their anatomy, they are extremely un-birdlike and looking at the movement of birds may actually be a hinderance more than a help in reconstructing or just imagining them.

"the current theory is that they're Ornithodirans." No. They ARE Ornithodirans. By definition. The current theory is that Ornithodirans are Avemetatarsalians. If that somehow turned out to be false, which is distinctly unlikely, then Ornithodira would simply expand to include crocodiles and their relatives, or *whatever* and their relatives. If Pterosaurs turned out to be basal Eukaryotes, they would still be Ornithodirans. It's just that this would make all plants, animals, and fungi also Ornithodirans.

Ludodactylus' name is really cute! Because it looked like the stereotypical Pterosaur toy it was given that name it's funny! Life imitating art I guess.....

So you briefly got into the weeds in terms of wing shapes, but my question is did pterosaurs have as diverse of wing shapes as birds do now? Like, short/rounded wings for high agility, long & pointed for high speed, and large & broad for soaring. Is there evidence of these different flight styles in the morphology of pterosaur fossils?

Okay I just thought up this idea and I wasn’t sure where to put it, but somebody PLEASE tell them about the Animal Crossing series fossil museum. It is hilarious and kind of really cool to see paleontology develop over as little as the last 20 years through this silly little animal game that just happens to have a “scientifically accurate” dinosaur bone museum. Animal Crossing (Gamecube) 2001 Animal Crossing: Wild World (Nintendo DS) 2005 Animal Crossing: City Folk (Wii) 2008 Animal Crossing: New Leaf (Nintendo 3DS) 2013 Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Switch) 2020 I am currently playing New Leaf and just finished my iguanodon fossil, and after realizing that the in-game reconstruction is bipedal, I couldn’t stop scrutinizing it through the eyes of YDAW. I would love to see them take a look at what Animal Crossing has to offer.

I had no idea Animal Crossing had a museum at all, let alone an accurate one. I just looked it up and wow, they even get the small details like the shape of Spinosaurus' spine right...

4:52 One notable development about the bipedal wings-extended pose of the toy is that Prehistoric Planet-which does depict pterosaurs as quadrupedal-nevertheless speculatively shows them adopting this sort of bipedal pose as a display behavior, over and over. See for example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3mYenqenpeDq5o

I'm a little confused, did pteranodon and similar pterosaurs have a rounded wingtip or did it have to be a perfect crescent?

Do we have any idea if late Cretaceous pterosaurs were overall better flyers than bats and birds?
