Pterosaurs were not dinosaurs but lived at the same time and are related to them. Pteranodon was the first pterosaur to be found outside of Europe in the 1870s. The wingspan of an average adult male was 5.6 meters (18 ft) with the largest known measuring 6.25 meters (20.5 ft) from wingtip to wingtip.
