No fossils of adult Pterodactylus have ever been found. However, paleontologists have estimated the size of adults based on the sizes and development levels of the many juvenile Pterodactylus fossils that have been found. They estimate that an adult Pterodactylus's wingspan was about 5 feet. If that is correct, they were probably about 3 feet long.

Pterodactylus fossils date to between 150.8 and 148.5 million years ago. That means they existed for at least 2.3 million years.

How did pterodactyls get extinct?

Pterodactyls were a particular type of small, flying reptile. Nobody knows the specific reason pterodactyls died out. However, flying reptiles, or pterosaurs, continued to exist until 65.5 million years ago. At that point, an asteroid crashed into Earth, throwing dust into the air that blocked sunlight long enough to collapse the food chain and wipe out not only dinosaurs, but pterosaurs as well.
