Pterodactyl is a pterosaur, not a dinosaur
TIL!
Are there other animals in that category?
If it has or recently (evolutionarily speaking) had wings, it’s a pterosaur; there are several that look close enough to pterodactyls that they get lumped together in media. ‘pterosaur’ is literally ‘winged lizard’
That one that looks like a lizard with a giant sail on its back wasn’t a dinosaur either.
