About Us

Pteros took flight in 2015 as a collaboration among software engineers, writers and artists to bring the general public the most comprehensive resource on our current knowledge of the world’s only flying reptiles, the pterosaurs.

For us, the most important part of having a museum of pterosaurs is the artwork. Pteros features the best paleo artists in the world bringing their favorite pterosaurs to life in their unique styles.

Within this site you’ll find exhaustive information on all known groups of pterosaurs, currently numbering more than 200 genera. Each genus page includes a gallery of artwork, a scientific classification, and a detailed description of the animal’s discovery, anatomy, behavior, and more.

In addition to details about individual pterosaur genera, we have information about the environments and rock formations from which the pterosaurs came, including custom artwork of iconic scenes from the past.

And new for 2025/2026, we have an Exhibits section featuring in-depth exhibits on pterosaur-related topics, such as growth and development, flight mechanics, and the history of pterosaur research.

Hope you enjoy Pteros!
