Best Answer

Pterodactylus was discovered in Bavaria, Germany. It was first described in 1784 by Cosimo Alessandro Collini, who believed it was an aquatic animal, simply because it looked so different from anything he had ever seen. In 1800, naturalist Johann Hermann figured out that Pterodactylus had wings and flew, and when he told Georges Cuvier, a zoologist, Cuvier determined that Pterodactylus was a reptile.
