When Pterosaurs Walked
Take the PBS Digital Studios audience survey: https://to.pbs.org/2021survey If you know one thing about pterosaurs, it’s that they’re flyers. And while pterosaurs may be well-known 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? ***** PBS Member Stations rely on viewers like you.

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 Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute), Pueblos, and Diné Bikéyah Peoples.
