The word "pterodactyl" annoys me. Especially since not only is it constantly used as a synonym for "pterosaur", the animal so often called a "pterodactyl" isn't even a real animal; it's some gigantic pterandon x rhamphorhynchus hybrid monster dinosaur bird that carries people away with its feet with its bat wings. And the fact my web browser underlines "pterosaur" as a misspelling but reads "pterodactyl" as a real word. >.> |

Tell me about it. Same with Pteranodon and Pterodactylus, my spell-correct will always change it to pterodactyl. So frickin' annoying! News flash world, there's no such thing as a pterodactyl! |

In whoever said that's defense, most dog breeds have had their genetic's and "evolution" hi-jacked by humans, those aren't natural mutations. |

Oh well yeah, and I just looked at the previous page with the Snowy Owl and Chipmunk also as examples. I agree, there are fully furred and feathered animals. Just saying dogs might not be the *best* animals because of tampering. |

You all I think keep not understanding my point.... CJ~ The animal had claws, eyes, and a nose without fur on it or more blankly completely in a mass cover like a sheet of fabric had only fabric in it. Animals do not have just one exterior component or the main external parts (Things that show up on the outside.) The chipmuk is not all fur. Furka~ I do not understand what you meant by that.. If your saying the owl has only feathers than what about the claws, beak, and all other parts that are not the main limbs and body. Fluffy~ Dude... The nose and the eyes are not feathered, then the oxen has horns and hooves, a nose that has hairs on it but not to the point it is a tuft of fur like a rabbit's tail when normal people think of one. My point being however there maybe animals covered in it even dogs with completely furry bodies but when it is at the base the eyes, nose, claws, or even in some times the anus is not covered by fur. Nor is any animal's lips really, I mean there might be few who have tiny lips like the chipmunks and such but they are not covered. So I still have a valid argument. |

And even a very feathery dinosaur would have unfeathered eyes, claws, tongue, and teeth. Otherwise a lot probably were all feathery. Nothing has feathery eyes or lips... and of course animals have flesh and bones. But as far as body coverings, yeah, a lot of animals are all but fully covered. |

Also not to mention in birds their legs for some of it is barren of feathers and it is just scales of avian form. Would it not? |

Mega, we know that some body parts aren't covered in fur or feathers, but it's still considered fully-feathered or furred. Be more specific next time

Related to Sheather's above post, I'm annoyed that the average member of the general public has no idea what a pterosaur (or a pterodactyl, as they call it) actually looked like in life. Seriously, they're a million miles off from what pterosaurs actually looked like. I thought they were pretty off with what they thought a Velociraptor looked like, but the public's perception of a pterosaur, really, is even worse! This poorly drawn sketch depicts what the average person pictures when he/she hears the word "pterodactyl": ![]() Like...just...WHY??? |

not even in the earliest dinosaur movies Pterosaurs were depicted that badly (except maybe the Ramphorhynchus from 1000000 years BC) |
