Pterosaurs are the hagfish of ornithodria so I don’t get too worked up when people call them dinosaurs. It’s like mistaking a rabbit for a rodent instead of a lagomorph. But if you say your favourite dinosaur is a mosasaur or god forbid a megalodon, we’re gonna have a problem.
Man, I watch so many Clint videos that I forgot that calling a genus the hagfish of such and such is something he made up and not just a standard cladistic term. I just read your comment without pause, forgetting that it's possible many people here have no idea what you're talking about.
but the bigger issue is that pterodactyl isnt even an actual genus and even if u consider the family or superfamily everyone is just thinking about a pteranodon when they say it..............
(also if i ever see someone say a prehistoric mammal is a dinosaur, im just gonna jump)
Tbh dinosaur is 233 million years ago and avemetatarsalia 246 million years ago, the distinction is so arbitrarily thin. Most people don't understand that clade isn't a description of physiology, they're still locked in the placental marsupial bird crocodilian terms which refers to animals so closely related inside the group they preserve a lot of similarity, like those clades are only 66-70 million years old, the kpg falsified our sense of clade

My girlfriend loves saying her favorite dinosaur is Plesiosaurus

You dropped your wallet, they are simply trying to return it

My favourite dinosaur is the Crocodylus
Taught my son early. He's four and is telling everyone he knows they are flying reptiles. Spread the knowledge son.

Pterodactylus is cute and all, but it's a total dud.

Merece morir en la hoguera, pero al menos no dijo "pterodáctilo" refiriéndome a todos los pterosaurios.

It’s a dud

That is a flying reptile, not a dinosaur.
What’s the difference? All Dinosaurs are reptiles.
But not all reptiles are dinosaurs

Ya know it may not be a dinosaur but it’s still a better answer than “I don’t know”
