Who made those gifs? Also these are good turns from classic skeletals.

The fourth one better not be attempting to challenge quadrupedal launch in all pterosaurs (if it's just for Dimorphodon and other early pterosaurs with their likely poor flying ability and somewhat awkward proportions I'm fine with that).

Also, when did we start liking David Peters skeletals, exactly? :P

Those are actually David peters's skeletals, much innacurate and riddled with bullcrap

Julien knows that, he just posted them as a joke. :P

I don't think Peters even understands the basic laws of physics or biology.

Spoilered for gifs.
to be completely honest not all of these are horrible
obviously you have to overlook the things that always accompany a Peters skeletal, the highly speculative display structures, shrink wrapping, and small wing membranes, but ignoring the silhouette and just focusing on the skeletal and movement not all of these seem half bad

1st
I'm not sure why the wings are so small, but the larger wing nearby seems to imply that the wings are only small to show the angle? or something like that...
the legs movement seems odd, but thats probably how a running azhdarchids legs would look, they almost certainly would have ran with both their wings and legs on the ground

2nd
odd and somewhat pointless seeming hypothesis, it seems like that movement would damage the shoulder, but I don't know enough about it to say (I don't even recognize the species its meant to represent)

3rd
again I don't know the species, that neck position looks very strained and painful, albeit not impossible, and the legs seem very small, but I can't say without knowing the species

4th
dimorphodon comparison, I see no issues here, its generally accepted that dimorphodon could probably have run on its hind legs (not for extended periods of time, but for running or takeoffs)
dimorphodon has very specialized legs that allow for this

5th
pterosaur pathway, seems odd to me that it would lift both wings simultaneously while walking, but this isn't exactly a typical moment in a pterosaurs walk cycle

6th
a little hard to follow the movement, but I see nothing particularly off, seems like a general pterosaur walk cycle to me

7th
again I don't know the species, but thats definitely not a comfortable way to hold ones tail (if it could even reach that high), its far more likely to be held straight out behind it

8th
vampirism, a very interesting bit of spec, no qualms with this

9th
lol, prepare to topple over and break your delicate fingers
skeletal seems fine, posture and movement are just... lol....


again I reiterate, I'm not referring to the silhouettes here, just the skeletals themselves
