Was this ancient flier more at home waddling on the ground than soaring through the sky?
Paleontologists disagree about whether Dimorphodon spent much time in the air. This pterosaur had a large head and a sturdy body that may have been better suited for waddling along the ground or for clinging like a bat to cliff tops and branches.
Dimorphodon's head looked rather like that of a modern sea-bird, the puffin. Some scientists guess that Dimorphodon may have led an ocean-fishing life similar to that of the puffin.
