"tair-AN-o-don" The Pteranodon's ("winged and toothless") wings
spanned 23 feet, but they supported a body no larger than a goose.
Its great blade-shaped beak was balanced by a huge bony crest
extending 2 feet to the rear of its head. Flying speeds are estimated
at 15 to 20 miles per hour with a gliding speed of around 25 miles
per hour.

Notes
You'll notice the
biography for Pteranodon says its name means 'winged and toothless'.
Now take a look at the box art. Looks pretty toothy to me!
The Real Pteranodon
Pteranodon is one
of the best-known of all the flying reptiles called pterodactyls.
It lived about 80 million years ago in North America. When Pteranodon
spread its wings it would have been 8 metres wide. It had no teeth,
but its jaws may have been covered with a horny beak. The long crest
at the back of the skull helped to balance its head.
