"Pterodactlyus" did. They were no bigger than birds. The fotosaurus logo
is, like pterodactylus, a pterosaur, specifically a pteranodon but it had a 30 foot wingspan, so I thought I’d share some trivia about this amazing
creature.
Pterosaurs were warm-blooded flying reptiles of the Jurassic and Cretaceous
periods, with membranous wings supported by a greatly lengthened fourth finger,
and probably covered with fur.
An X-ray study of
pterosaur brain cavities revealed
that the animals had massive floccule. The flocculus is a brain region that
integrates signals from joints, muscles, skin and balance organs.
The pterosaurs'
flocculi occupied 7.5% of the animals' total brain mass, more than in any other
vertebrate. Birds have unusually large flocculi compared with other animals,
but these only occupy between 1 and 2% of total brain mass.
The flocculus sends
out neural signals that produce small, automatic movements in the eye muscles.
These keep the image on an animal's retina steady. Pterosaurs may have had such
a large flocculus because of their large wing size, which would mean that there
was a great deal more sensory information to process.
An interesting link
as fotosaurus similarly will have a great deal of information to process for you as it
brings your memories back to life.
Right that's cleared that up. fotosaurus is a pteranodon gearing up to bring your memories back to life.
