Pterodactyl

The Pterosaurs (often erroneously referred to as Pterodactyls) were a type of winged reptiles native to Earth in its early history.

Biology
There were numerous species of pterosaurs, ranging in size from small (DW: Invasion of the Dinosaurs) to ones with forty-foot wingspans (NA: Blood Heat). No one knew how they took off from the ground to fly. (EDA: EarthWorld)

History
One type of Pterosaur was brought to the 20th century during Operation Golden Age. They were used for general chaos and to help guard the base. (DW: Invasion of the Dinosaurs)

Another type, the Pteranodon, had one individual brought to 20th century Cardiff by the Cardiff Rift. This Pteranodon was captured by Torchwood Three and kept as a mascot. (TW: Everything Changes)

In an alternate universe, an especially large type of Pterosaur was used by the Silurians as a steed. With a forty-foot wingspan, it could easily carry a Silurian. They were used as war steeds in times of battle and would cling to the side of the airships. (NA: Blood Heat)

There was a Pterosaur in the Prehistoric Zone of EarthWorld, New Jupiter. (EDA: EarthWorld)

In a world where all of history occurred at once after River Song prevented herself from killing the Eleventh Doctor, pterodactyls were considered to be vermin. Pteranodons would chase people in parks. (DW: The Wedding of River Song)
