What’s the difference between pterosaurs and dinosaurs? How were pterosaurs—the first animals after insects to evolve powered flight—adapted to take to the skies? And why are pterosaur fossils so rare?

Find out the answer to these questions and more during a Watch Party with paleontologist Danny Barta, associate professor at Oklahoma State University and graduate of the Museum’s Richard Gilder Graduate School, who will be taking live questions from viewers via chat. Join us at 1PM ET on Friday July 31!
