Runway found for flying reptiles (via BBC News)
An ancient runway for flying reptiles called pterosaurs has been found in France, say researchers writing in a Royal Society journal. Led by Jean-Michel Mazin, the international team found a 150 million year-old landing strip in Crayssac in South West France. The “trackway” shows how the reptile landed feet first, then stuttered before walking on all fours. It is still is not known how they took off.
